Secretary of state Hillary Clinton yesterday urged Afghan president Hamid Karzai to “do better” if he wanted US support, and that included creating a major crimes tribunal and anti-corruption commission.

“We’re going to be doing what we can to create an atmosphere in which the blood and treasure that the United States has committed to Afghanistan can be justified and can produce the kind of results that we’re looking for,” Mrs Clinton said in an interview with ABC News from Singapore.

President Barack Obama is expected in the coming weeks to announce a new strategy for Afghanistan, including sending in up to 40,000 more troops to fight the eight-year-old war.

“Now, we believe that President Karzai and his government can do better. We’ve delivered that message,” Mrs Clinton told ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos show.

“Now that the election is finally over, we’re looking to see tangible evidence that the government, led by the president but going all the way down to the local level, will be more responsive to the needs of the people, will deliver the services that the people of Afghanistan want,” she said.
