America's top commander in Afghanistan, Gen Stanley A McChrystal, and his advisors have reportedly ridiculed United States Vice President Joe Biden, President Barack Obama's Special Envoy to Pakistan and Afghanistan Richard C Holbrooke and the US Ambassador to Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry.
"The security relationship between India and Pakistan has consequences for Afghanistan," US Ambassador to Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry said on Tuesday to a question from Senator Kay Hagan before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Pakistan's security forces and its intelligence agency have facilitated the rise of the Taliban, with whom they have an "ambiguous" relationship, a former top American army official, now headed to become the country's representative to Afghanistan has said.
US President Barack Obama paid a surprise visit to Afghanistan to meet troops.
In a damaging report ahead of the November 5 polls, a special United States counsel has said that President Joe Biden 'willfully' mishandled classified documents as a private citizen but concluded that it would be difficult to convict him as he comes across as an 'elderly man with a poor memory'.
