( CNN ) -- Despite rousing approval by the vast majority of Afghan elders , Afghanistan 's security deal with the United States still hangs in the balance . President Hamid Karzai says he wo n't sign it until some conditions are met . U.S. National Security Advisor Susan Rice says what the Afghan leader is asking for are new demands added to a deal that has already been worked out . Karzai wants a promise from the United States that there will be no more raids on Afghan homes , and that Afghan prisoners will be released from the Guantanamo Bay detention center . He says the demands come not from him but from the 2,500 elders , who convened for four days last week at a loya jirga , a consultative assembly , to consider the agreement , Karzai said . What 's missing ? Karzai 's signature . Rice , who met Karzai over dinner Monday night to talk about the bilateral security agreement , dug in her heels . She told him to sign the bilateral security agreement soon , or the United States will be forced to plan for a complete pull-out . That would include NATO 's troops , depriving Afghanistan off all security coverage from Western forces , she said in a statement . During the loya jirga , Karzai told the crowd that the deal would not be signed until after the next presidential election in April 2014 . The elders and Rice both said they would like to see it be signed more promptly . Along with their demands toward the United States , the loya jirga attendees requested that Karzai pass the agreement before the end of this year . In his speech at the jirga , Karzai had already threatened not to sign , if the sensitive issue of house raids was not addressed . `` If U.S. military forces conduct military operations on Afghan homes even one more time , then there will be no BSA and we wo n't sign it , '' Karzai said Sunday . `` They should give assurance about this to us before I sign it . '' The raids have been one of the main sore spots between Afghans and Western military presence led by the United States . Other NATO countries , including Germany , have said they will be unable to remain in Afghanistan if the United States and Afghanistan do not reach a deal . A total withdrawal would also put at risk billions of dollars in international aid . Opinion : Hopes are dim for Afghanistan . CNN 's Masoud Popolzai contributed to this report .
' Hamid Karzai says he wo n't sign a security deal until after elections . That 's ` ` not viable , '' U.S. National Security Adviser Susan Rice says . The delay could mean US troops pull out of Afghanistan earlier than expected . Afghan elders have demands that Karzai wants us to ignore .
