Democrats in the US Congress have signalled they will want an explanation from the top US commander in Afghanistan on how he will deploy the extra 30,000 US forces sent to the war zone.
Democrats in the US Congress have signalled they will want an explanation from the top US commander in Afghanistan on how he will deploy the extra 30,000 US forces sent to the war zone.

In the second round of congressional questioning since President Barack Obama announced the Afghanistan war surge, General McChrystal is expected to once again confirm an 18-month timeline may not be enough to finish the war.

McChrystal had warned of failure without an addition of about 40,000 US forces.

Many Democrats have been opposed to the escalation while Republicans have pressed for an extension of the timeline.

On Monday, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen, spoke to troops, saying: "We are not winning, which means we are losing."

He told the troops they would go to Afghanistan to stop insurgents from gaining new recruits.

"That's why we need the 30,000," he said.

McChrystal expecting to be grilled on troop deployment

How can NATO win in Afghanistan, if Americans beleive & trust in Pakistani
Military, same as one beleives in God !!! President Obama thinks to stabilise
Pakistan which is the main source to destablise Afghanistan. Actually, the policy should be adapted to destabilise Pakistan by establishing national free States of Baluchistan, Sindhu-desh, Panjab, Pakhtunkhawa & Balawaristan.

It seems the week-end holiday joy-makers of the west are rowing their boats against the flow of the river facing voilent waves & tides.

Pakistan shall never succeed to make Afghanistan a satellite Slave State through his mafias and Pakistani trained Commandos called Talibans, any more. With their long experience, International Community shall discover like Columbs that the secret “to stabilize Afghanistan lies in the true formula of disintegraing Pakistan and respect the human rights of the small nations of Pakistan and by totally destroying the exporters of terrorism i.e. the Thug Panjabis.

You are interested for the location of “Afghan Think-tank” whom you
can never catch to punish while they live between sky & earth !!!!!

The afghan tank think presents an excuse...

... , but the evidnce displayed says its a lie tank rather than a group of Afghans that seek a better Afghanistan. The evidence also says your under US Military hands.

Which says something much different than your claim.
