Trust Eroded, Obama Looks Beyond Karzai 

New York Times 
By.Tyler Plummer 

President Hamid Karzai refused to a sign a long term security agreement with US before he leaves office. Obama decided to look past Hamid Karzai decision and informed the pentagon to begin planning complete withdrawal of the American troops in Afghanistan by the end of the year. Obama was still open to leaving military force behind in Afghanistan to conduct training and counter terrorism operations but due to Karzai non response Obama took it that he does not want the offer. Many sources say that Karzai decision not to respond is a bad decision for them. Some people fear to say Obama has a good idea of leaving no troops in Afghanistan because of the fear that without any American or NATO troops, Afghanistan could revert to its status as a staging ground for terrorist plots against the West. President Karzai and the troops relationship has gone toxic because Afghanistan released 65 prisoners that where responsible for killing some US soldiers.
 

I think that Obama is making a controversial decision on moving all the troops out of Afghanistan because that leaves the possibility for Al Qaeda to start planning attacks on the west such American, Canada, etc. it may also be a good idea because Karzai showed no respect by not relying to Obama's offer and he released 65 prisoners that where responsible for killing some us soldiers which is sad because they are fighting to help make peace in your country.
