KABUL - Afghan President Hamid Karzai told tribal leaders Thursday that he did not trust the United States, hours after Secretary of State John Kerry said a final draft deal on troop levels had been reached.
"My trust with America is not good," Karzai said at a meeting of tribal elders and political leaders in Kabul. "I don't trust them and they don't trust me. During the past 10 years I have fought with them and they have made propaganda against me."
Civilian war casualties in Afghanistan rose 45 percent over the last year, with hospitals treating children who have been shot, or hit by shrapnel. NBC's Richard Engel reports.
His remarks were made at the Loya Jirga - a grand council of tribal elders and political leaders – to support the new security deal governing relations between the U.S. military and the Afghan government for years to come.
Karzai faces a challenge in persuading the Loya Jirga to accept the pact, which allows for between 10,000 and 15,000 international troops - mostly U.S. - to remain in Afghanistan another decade or more.

With Obama as President who has been caught lying and prevaricating at home and abroad, I wouldn’t trust the US either.
Our soldiers in your country have a much different opinion.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai speaks while on standing on his suitcases full of cash
We have a lot in common. But sadly we’re more stupid than they are.
Karzai’s shelf life after the Taliban takeover can be measured in seconds.
Why would anyone want to deal with what we have as a President?
Two crooks arguing over who gets to take the bigger pile out of our treasury.
My thoughts exactly. “I don’t trust the US but keep sending money ‘for the people’ and I’ll keep(literally) working on regaining my trust.” Cha Ching!!!!!
Can you blame him? Look what we do to our allies and “friends”.
A majority of American citizens are with you on that one. We don’t trust the US either.
I wish someone would blow up this little Muslim bastard up. His death would be celebrated by me.
Muslim dirtbag. We should glass over that Stone Age pesthole and leave.
And God knows we have no reason to trust you so sounds like a perfect time to call an end to everything and wish you goodbye and good luck.
Can you blame us? He is neither and ally nor a friend.
Exactly. And O has been negotiating with the Talibs behind his back.
I don't think everyone takes that into account. In his position, you have to have a Plan B for the day the State Department sells you down the river.
