Kerry Encouraged By Karzai/Zardari Luncheon

Sen. John Kerry, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, said he was encouraged by a luncheon yesterday with Presidents Karzai and Zardari of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Perhaps a good sign, considering Kerry has been skeptical of America's progress on the problems in those countries. On the other hand, Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) said Karzai and Zardari probably lost support during the meeting.
