Karzai Wont Seek Third Term

Hamid Karzai, who has served as President of Afghanistan since early 2005, announced earlier today that he will not seek a third five year term in office in accordance with the young constitution's term limits on presidential service.

The Afghan President has served his country well since taking office several years ago, and has remained an ally of the United States, even with the death of his close brother-in-law last month. He has staunchly fought the al-Qaida and Taliban terror networks side-by-side with NATO and U.S. forces.

I don't know who will run to succeed Mr. Karzai in the 2014 election, but I hope they will be as determined to eliminate the jihadist elements as he has been.

What say you?
