Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Tuesday said he wanted "at least $2 billion" a year from the United States after it withdraws its troops in 2014.
Karzai said the US should specify in a partnership agreement to be signed between his country and the US how much money it will give to Afghanistan after they leave.
"They (US) say we will give you money, but will not specify the amount. We say give us less, but write it down," Karzai told a group of university professors and students in Kabul.
"We want them to write down that America will give for Afghanistan's security $2 billion a year -- or at least two billion a year", he said. "If they want to give us more, they are welcome."

I'm sure Obama will give it to them. No matter what we say.map
Let's get things into perspective here. Now that we have finished performing services for Iraq for the last ten years, we want them to pay us back for those services rendered at the rate of 5 billion per year until the total cost of the war plus interest is paid.
