Secretary Clinton Defends Raids from Karzai's Criticism

<snip>

"Secretary of State Hillary Clinton today defended the use of special operations raids in Afghanistan after Afghan President Hamid Karzai called for a halt such actions in an interview with the Washington Post that was published over the weekend.

“We believe that the use of intelligence driven precision targeted operations against high value insurgents and their networks is a key component of our comprehensive civilian military operations… there is no question that they are having a significant impact on the insurgent leadership and the networks that they operate,” Clinton said. She said the US shared Karzai’s concerns and has discussed them with him.

“We believe that these operations are in the best interest of the Afghan people, the Afghan government and the ISAF troops who are working with their Afghan counterparts to secure the country,” she added."
