Biden arrives in Afghanistan for talks
Biden arrived in Afghanistan on Saturday for talks with the country's leaders, as surging Taliban violence claimed the lives of more American troops.
Vice President Joe Biden said the US would be out of Afghanistan by 2014 ``come hell or high water'' Biden's prediction appeared to go further than statements by his boss, President Barack Obama, who just last month said there would be a reduced US footprint in Afghanistan by 2014 but that the number of troops that would remain was still in question.
