Mission Unaccomplished: Moscow Says Time Is Right for US to Leave Afghanistan

Russia believes that the time has come for the US to leave Afghanistan. The statement was made by Zamir Kabulov, the Russian Foreign Ministry's Director of the Second Asian Department in Afghanistan and a special envoy to Afghanistan, in an interview with Russian Izvestia daily. According to him, the country is turning into a global incubator of international terrorism. Moscow also strongly opposes the idea of sending military contractors there to replace the regular US servicemen.
