KABUL, Afghanistan, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- Secretary of Defense Charles Hagel said a complete U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan would be possible without a new joint security pact.
Hagel told CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday he expected Afghan President Hamid Karzai to eventually end his holdout and sign the new agreement; however if he did not, the possibility existed of a complete U.S. exit from the country.
