Hard to anticipate U.S. role in Afghanistan past 2014: Obama
U.S.President Barack Obama says its hard to anticipate the exact U.S. role in Afghanistan beyond 2014.
Thats the date for U.S. and NATO troops to transfer control to Afghan forces. But Mr. Obama says U.S. counter-terror operations will go on until officials are confident al-Qaida is no longer operating.
The President says the goal is for Afghans to be in the lead in 2014 and that the U.S. isnt still involved in the type of combat operations going on now.
He says he anticipates the change in operations in Afghanistan will be similar to whats happened in Iraq.
Allies calling for US to OK arms pact
President Barack Obama says its time for the U.S. Senate to ratify a new nuclear arms treaty with Russia and theres no good reason for Republicans to delay it.
The President says that U.S. allies in Europe want the pact approved for their protection, not just Americas protection.
Mr. Obama, whos attending a NATO summit in Portugal, says theres no verification system in place now regarding Russian nuclear arsenals.
He says that would change if the treaty were ratified.
