Afghan Lash-out

The U.S. ambassador Karl W. Eikenberry responds to Afghan president's criticism of Americans as occupiers.

“When Americans, who are serving in your country at great cost — in terms of life and treasure — hear themselves compared with occupiers, told that they are only here to advance their own interest and likened to the brutal enemies of the Afghan people,” the ambassador said, “my people, in turn, are filled with confusion and grow weary of our effort here.”
