After five years of warfare following the toppling of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan with the U.S. invasion following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Karzai said in an interview leading up to this visit that Afghanistan, the U.S. and their allies are no closer to finding the al Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden.

“We are not closer, we are not further away from it,’’ Karzai said in an interview with CNN. “We are where we were a few years ago… I definitely know that he cannot be in Afghanistan. Where he is is a question that I cannot answer at this point.’’

1. Since meeting with Bush, Karzai is now saying the Taliban are defeated and no threat

Two days ago before the meeting, Karzai said that Afghanistan was falling apart because of a deteriorating security situation.
