NATO Head: “Substantially More Forces” Headed to Afghanistan

HeadlineNov 18, 2009

NATO’s Secretary General says a major troop increase in Afghanistan is on the way. Anders Fogh Rasmussen made the pledge Tuesday at a NATO assembly in Scotland.

Anders Fogh Rasmussen: “In a few weeks, I expect we will decide in NATO on the approach and troop levels needed to take our mission forward. I’m confident it will be a counterinsurgency approach with substantially more troops and will place the Afghan population at the core of ISAF’s collective effort.”
