“WASHINGTON — Afghan President Hamid Karzai is once again causing headaches for U.S. and NATO commanders, this time demanding the U.S. reduce its military presence in the region and stop conducting night raids against the Taliban.
“The time has come to reduce military operations,” Karzai said in an interview with the Washington Post over the weekend. “The time has come to reduce the presence of, you know, boots in Afghanistan … to reduce the intrusiveness into the daily Afghan life … make it more civilian.”
