comments from karzai. reporter: it s an amazing change of tone if you listen to statements out of the white house, this obama administration towards karzai. no embrace. very different from what we heard from president bush who had a close relationship with president karzai. some people say the bush administration coddled him a little bit. what we re seeing from president karzai is a great deal of frustration. he feels he s not able to act. a lot of this has to do with reconciliation. karzai believes that the way out of this war is to have a peace conference. he scheduled this with members of the taliban, with other militant groups. he wants to sit down and reach some sort of negotiated settlement. u.s. officials, u.s. military in particular are much more skeptical of this approach and recently have been launching military offensives and announcing there will be a major offensive in kandahar early this summer.
