Among the goals: President Karzai said he hopes the transition to full Afghan security responsibilities can occur by 2014, a date that Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the NATO secretary general, promptly caveated (“conditions-based,” etc.). The Afghan finance minister urged donor nations to channel 20 percent of their development assistance through Afghan ministries within two years. And there was some wary support from Secretary Clinton about Karzai’s plan to seek reconciliation with the Taliban.
