Afghanistan president questions NATO mission in teary speech - latimes

President Hamid Karzai broke into tears Tuesday while delivering a speech in which he questioned the efficacy of the NATO military mission in Afghanistan and condemning an epidemic of violence gripping his country.

President Karzai became emotional during an address at an event in Kabul focused on improving literacy. Dwelling on Afghanistan's more than 30 years of warfare, he recalled the Soviet era, alluded to meddling by Afghanistan's neighbors and then added, "NATO is here, fighting against terrorism for 10 years, fighting with no result." -- Afghanistan president questions NATO mission in teary speech
