Bush Seeks More NATO Troops in Afghanistan

HeadlineNov 28, 2006

President Bush is heading to the NATO summit in Latvia today. He is expected to join others in urging NATO members to contribute more troops to the war in Afghanistan.

NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer: “We must resource ISAF properly. It is not acceptable that our mission in the south still lacks 20 percent of its combined joint statement of requirements. I’ve spoken out repeatedly, and I’ll do it here again this morning, about national caveats that take away a commander’s flexibility and undermine our operational effectiveness.”
