BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The top U.S. general said on Friday he was cautiously optimistic about efforts to reach a negotiated end to the nearly 18-year-old war in Afghanistan, in remarks that followed talks in Kabul with Afghanistan's president and the top U.S. negotiator.
"We're all cautiously optimistic, in the sense that Ambassador Khalilzad is now doing something we haven't seen in the entire time that we've been deployed to Afghanistan," Marine General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
