Admin: Karzai Remarks May Force Cancellation of US Visit
--------------------------------------------------------



The Obama administration is suggesting it might cancel a scheduled visit
from Afghan President Hamid Karzai next month. Over the past week,
Karzai has criticized Western interference in Afghanistan and said the
Taliban risks becoming a legitimate resistance movement. On Tuesday,
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the US might “evaluate”
Karzai’s remarks to determine whether a White House visit would be
worthwhile.
