Rice: US Will Not Apologize for Afghan War Mistakes -- Voice of America

U.S. National Security Adviser Susan Rice says the United States will not apologize to Afghanistan for mistakes made during the Afghan war.

Rice's comments late Tuesday came after a spokesman for Afghan President Hamid Karzai said he was expecting a letter of apology from President Barack Obama as part of the negotiations for a new security agreement between the two countries.

U.S. officials acknowledge that Karzai requested an apology letter during a telephone conversation with Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday.

She said the United States has sacrificed and supported Afghanistan in its democratic progress and in fighting insurgents and al-Qaida.
