Karzai said U.S. and NATO forces had agreed to improve the coordination of their operations with Afghan authorities to avoid civilian casualties. "The tension the Afghan government had with the U.S. government is now over," Karzai said during a speech in Mahter Lam, east of Kabul. "From now on, no foreign troop operations will be uncoordinated with Afghan forces." Obama talked to Karzai for the first time since taking office a month ago after announcing plans on Tuesday to send 17,000 extra troops. Relations between Washington and Kabul have been undermined both by protests by Karzai over civilian casualties and by U.S. complaints he was not doing enough to fight corruption. Presidential spokesman Humayun Hamidzada said Obama and Karzai had discussed ways of improving security and the training of the national army, along with the troop increase. "We have opened a new page," Karzai's spokesman said. The agreement on coordinating operations was made late last week and it was unclear how well it would hold up in the face of an increasingly fierce Taliban insurgency. Karzai himself seemed to hint at an element of doubt by saying that "If foreign troops do not listen to us, we will call a loya jirga (grand council) and we will also include the Taliban and (militant leader Gulbuddin) Hekmatyar to decide whether foreign troops should stay in Afghanistan." More than 2,100 civilians were killed in Afghanistan last year, 40 percent more than in 2007, the United Nations said, of whom a quarter died as a result of air strikes. Obama said the troop increase was "necessary to stabilize a deteriorating situation in Afghanistan." The reinforcements will take U.S. troop numbers to around 55,000, in addition to the 30,000 troops from 40 other mostly NATO countries already operating in Afghanistan. Most of the new U.S. troops, including some 8,000 Marines and 4,000 soldiers from an armored brigade, will be sent to southern Afghanistan where mostly British, Canadian and Dutch soldiers have not had enough troops to keep effective control of ground they have captured from the Taliban. PRESSURE ON NATO ALLIES The United States is also expected to put pressure on its allies to send more troops at a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Poland this week. Continued...
