“Karzai has announced that he will not sign a deal until next April, when there will be elections in Afghanistan. The elections are very important. They will decide which political faction will surrender to the Taliban. The Obama administration says it really will pull out all troops by the end of 2014 if Karzai does not sign the agreement this year. ‘They are bluffing,’ he says. ‘We’re not,’ an unnamed American official says. After the Taliban retakes control, what will be the official response of the President of the United States? How will he spin the story? Will he use the tried and true: ‘It was Bush’s fault. He got us in there.'”
