++President Karzai negotiated a new security agreement with John Kerry but insisted he wouldn't sign it because Americans really didn't trust him. But the Loya Jirga of Afghanistan signed the agreement anyway. The New York Times says President Obama owes the American people an explanation of why we would be keeping 8-12,000 troops still in the country after 2014. The answer will probably be because they are needed to train Afghan troops and police. But again,the Afghan War is basically over for us, not them.
++In Warsaw,the international meeting on global climate change which looked like a wreck only two days ago with NGOs walking out and the developing countries complaining they weren't getting funds from the Developed World to fight it finally reached a modest agreement ,which would not hasten climate change like other meetings did. The new standards would be re-negotiated in 2016.
