Contrary to the opinion of many resident super intellectuals... (just ask them)
You don't get to be a President of a country without being a shrewd, intelligent individual. And it appears President Karzai is very astute at playing the political game.
Of course he will not sign until after he is reelected... This does two things for him. Keeps the Americans wanting him to stay in office and keeps his opponents from using his signing of the treaty against him in the election... Very smart...
He gets to mouth off all he wants to against the US to booster his chances of being reelected and insures the US keeps kissing his back side until the treaty is signed.
I am not for blanket immunity for any NATO military serving in Afghanistan from Afghanistan law. BUT I am not for open season on NATO military who cross against the light being used as examples of just how harsh Islamic law can be for infidels.
I did note from what the article said President Karzai is VERY keen on the US supporting Afghanistan to the absolute max with Free weapons and probably parts for the weapons with all the training and any upgrades in the future.
I just hope Secretary of State John F. Kerry and other U.S. officials negotiated with President Karzai they did not totally screw the US tax payer.

I think that staying ensures that we screw the tax payer, and if we are going to have a puppet he better act like a puppet and stop placating the Taliban.
If we have to engage in nation building (staring at the Stone Age) we are going to be there for a while.
West Virginia and Pennsylvania roads are dangerously in disrepair, as are roads an bridges nation wide but lets build Afghanistan's infrastructure?
Our education system is a joke, yet we are building schools over there so little girls can get shot in the head for attending?
