Bush Karzai talks aid not peacekeeping force
President Bush promised Hamid Karzai a lasting partnership with economic aid and military training while rejecting a request for US troops as part of a multinational peacekeeping force. He outlined a loan and job program and pledged support for an Afghan national military and police. Karzai thanked the US for backing Afghanistan and highlighted vows to fight corruption and terrorism. The visit marked the first Afghan leader's Washington trip since 1963, with extensive discussions across White House and State Department officials.
