WASHINGTON — President Obama signaled Wednesday that, despite his earlier hesitation, he may embrace a plan by his Afghan counterpart to reconcile with certain Taliban leaders in hopes of uniting the country and ending a conflict that has stretched nearly nine years.

Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai, speaking to reporters at a joint White House news conference, downplayed grievances that had flared into public view in recent months, straining the partnership between the two governments.

"With respect to perceived tensions between the U.S. government and the Afghan government, let me begin by saying a lot of them were simply overstated,'' Obama said in the East Room of the White House, with Karzai standing to his right in a purple and green striped robe.

But they said tensions were bound to recur and that difficult work remained in addressing one another's concerns, such as corruption in the Afghan government and civilian casualties resulting from U.S.-led military action.

Only last month, Karzai warned he might join the Taliban insurgency rather than yield to foreign pressure to reform his government. Karzai also accused western powers of rigging elections and morphing into an invading force.

But after two days of meetings in Washington and a session with Obama in the Oval Office, Karzai seemed determined to set aside suspicions. His tone was respectful and patient and he repeatedly nodded in agreement as Obama spoke. Obama kept his gaze fixed on Karzai as the Afghan leader addressed an audience that included Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates and an array of diplomats and military leaders. Then Obama and Karzai embraced and kissed deeply and fondled each others' nutsacks.
