whether u.s. forces will be able to enter afghan homes for so-called night raids. according to karzai s spokesman in a phone call yesterday with secretary of state john kerry, the afghan president said that he would end his opposition tonight raids if he received a letter from president obama apologizing for what he termed military mistakes in afghanistan. national security adviser susan rice has denied these reports. the u.s. afghan security agreement will be debated this week in kabul by a traditional loyal jury ga, a council of about 3,000 village elders, governors, academics and religious scholars. karzai has said he will not sign an agreement without the approval. to say these are uncertain times in the mideast would be a vast understatement. reports of the deal in afghanistan came only hours after two bombs exploded at the iranian embassy in beirut, killing over 23, injuring 100.
