Rice to meet Afghanistan's Karzai following rebuff

AP foreign, Monday November 25 2013

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - U.S. officials say National Security Adviser Susan Rice will meet Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Kabul just one day after he rebuffed American requests to sign a security pact by the end of the year

A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy and the White House said Monday's meeting was at Karzai's request. Rice was on a trip to visit U.S. troops for the Thanksgiving holidays.

Karzai on Sunday rejected a recommendation by an Afghan assembly of dignitaries that he quickly sign.

This is the second time in the news she has encroached on Kerry. The other time was her strategically "leaked" disapproval of Egypt public statements by Kerry.

Too lazy to look that up for a link, but hoping you remember.
