FILE - In this Jan. 11, 2013 file photo, President Barack Obama meets with Afghan President Hamid Karzai in the Oval Office of the White in Washington. The troubled U.S. alliance with Afghan President Hamid Karzai hits a new low with his startling accusation that the U.S. is colluding with the Taliban to keep Afghanistan weak. But with President Barack Obama committed to two more years of combat, Karzai appears to be able to have it both ways – to gain political favor at home with anti-American rhetoric and to gain military protection from abroad against the Taliban.
