In a surprise move, Afghan President Hamid Karzai appeared to pour cold water on the chances for an immediate security deal with the U.S., saying that because of the mistrust' between him and Washington, any agreement should wait until his successor is elected.
“The agreement should be signed when the election is conducted, properly and with dignity,” he told the Loya Jirga, a council of Afghan elders Karzai convened to vote on approving the deal, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.
“There is mistrust between me and America. I don't trust them, and they don't trust me,” he continued after he shared the contents of a letter President Obama sent him Thursday morning.

Heck, two thirds of the American people don't trust the Great Pretender? What's one more?
I'd like to see a poll of other foreign leaders and see how many join Karzai in that opinion. -

We should have left that sewer years ago. You may be able to argue us being there in the first place, but there is clearly no reason to stay.
But I agree the trust level of team zero is rightfully, well, zero. -
