White House presses accelerate Afghan drawdown discussions
Jay Carney said security responsibilities would speed up transfer as Afghan fears about rural handovers remained. Officials noted Karzai did not raise leaving rural areas and questioned if U.S. troops could evacuate those zones by the target date. Obama and Cameron pushed a 2014 end date with Afghan forces to assume lead combat duties next year.
