Afghan leader orders US special forces out of province

AFP, 25 February 2013.
AFP quotes Martine van Bijlert on yesterday’s NSC order that US Special Forces leave Wardak within two weeks: “It appears to be an on-the-spot, emotional decision, based on a long-standing frustration that there are forces, Afghan and international, that are uncontrollable… It does not appear to be a calculated move as a part of the security agreement negotiations, although it should of course be seen in that context.”
