I think it is important that President Karzai understand that Afghanistan actually needs the Bilateral Security Agreement more than we do.

But Afghanistan is directly connected to our vital national security interests and we must get this right.

As a Congress, we need to stop sequestration. Mindless across-the-board cuts is simply the wrong way to run a government.
