Gates, Karzai Discuss Way Ahead in Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan, Sept. 2, 2010 – There are now enough resources in Afghanistan to deliver “tangible and lasting results,” Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said during a joint news conference with Afghan President Hamid Karzai here today. The two leaders had met earlier in the day to discuss issues such as combating corruption in the Afghan government, civilian casualties and the U.S. military’s gradual transition of responsibility for security to Afghan forces beginning in July 2011. Karzai told reporters his discussions with Gates “detailed the progress we have made so far and what remains to be done.” Nearly all of the 30,000 U.S. troops President Barack Obama ordered to Afghanistan in December 2009 have arrived, Gates said. The U.S. forces are conducting operations along with 7,000 additional servicemembers sent from NATO and non-NATO allies.
