Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai speaks to Times Now’s editor Arnab Goswami on the US timeline for withdrawal from his country and the role of Pakistan in the region
“It is no longer a secret,” says President Hamid Karzai, “and (even) Pakistan doesn’t deny that any more. The region is infested by (terror) sanctuaries.” Karzai says this has been conveyed to the US repeatedly, and also at times through the media.
“I hope that now with the re-election of President Obama, we will be sitting down for a frank conversation so we can find answers to these questions. The war on terror cannot be fought in Afghanistan because it isn’t in Afghanistan. It has to go to the sanctuaries. Those sanctuaries are in Pakistan, and in Afghanistan wherever they are.”
