Afghan President Hamid Karzai says he no longer trusts the U.S. --- Visiting Afghan President Hamid Karzai said in New Delhi on Saturday he no longer “trusts” the United States, accusing the Americans of saying one thing and doing another in his troubled homeland. -- Karzai’s statement to journalists came a day after he insisted he would not be “intimidated” into signing a security pact allowing US troops in Afghanistan to stay on after next year. -- “I don’t trust them,” Karzai said in a wide-ranging discussion at a local hotel in which he singled out a letter US President Barack Obama wrote last month assuring him that US forces would “respect” the safety of Afghans in their homes. -- Karzai, who is due to stand down after elections next year, initially endorsed the so-called Bilateral Security Agreement, or BSA. -- But he later said the agreement could only be signed after the presidential election in April, warning against a NATO presence if it just meant “more bombs and killings”. -- His stance has outraged US officials and lawmakers, who have threatened a complete forces pullout if Karzai does not sign by the end of the year. -- “When Obama writes to me that he will respect homes, they should prove it… implement the letter, respect Afghan homes,” Karzai said. -- “Just instruct no more bombings and there will be no more bombings and of course launch the peace process publicly and officially,” he said. -- “I am trying to make it a win-win for all,” he said. - More, Agence France-Presse, at: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/12/14/afghan-president-hamid-karzai-says-he-no-longer-trusts-the-u-s/
