I don’t think Karzai is bluffing either

There was no immediate reaction from Karzai’s office. Former Afghan officials said Obama’s comments were unlikely to sway the Afghan leader, noting that he had ignored an influential council of Afghan dignitaries that overwhelmingly endorsed the security deal in November. The council included some Afghan presidential candidates.

“I don’t think that he will react to such pressure,” said Said Jawad, a former Afghan ambassador to Washington, who served on the council. “In the past, he has proven to enjoy saying no to the U.S. and acting much tougher than he is perceived to be.”

Looks like game over for Afghanistan.
