Karzai in Washington for Talks on U.S. Withdrawal 
--------------------------------------------------


 
Afghan President Hamid Karzai is in Washington for talks with President
Obama on U.S. troop levels in Afghanistan after the withdrawal deadline
of 2014. Obama administration officials have recently floated troop
numbers ranging from zero to 20,000 after combat operations formally
come to an end. Karzai kicked off his visit on Wednesday by meeting a
group of senators.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai: "The trip has just begun, and I'll be
meeting over two days with members of the Senate and the administration.
I hope we get back to Afghanistan what the Afghans expect of me to take
back to them."
