"Gates OK's deployment of brigade to Afghanistan; Czech leaders allow troops to head home" By Lolita C. Baldor, Associated Press | December 20, 2008
WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Robert Gates has approved the deployment of a combat aviation brigade to Afghanistan early next year, as the military begins a substantial buildup of forces there....
As Sgt. Hulka once said: "Fuck this!"
Further announcements about the deployment of more ground troops - including Army or Marine combat units - are expected early next year....
Three Danish soldiers and one from the Netherlands were killed in separate incidents in Afghanistan yesterday, losing their lives just as the commitment of some countries to the fight in Afghanistan begins to wane.
The Danish army said the three Danes were killed and a compatriot badly injured when their armored vehicle drove over a bomb or a land mine in Helmand province. In the Netherlands, General Peter van Uhm said 24-year-old Sergeant Mark Weijdt was killed when he stepped on an explosive device during a firefight with the Taliban in the southern province of Uruzgan.
Don't you want to hustle right over there, kiddo?
In Prague yesterday, the lower chamber of the Czech parliament declined to extend a mandate for the deployment of the country's troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other foreign missions for next year, meaning the soldiers will leave soon....
Hip, hip, HOO-RAY for the CZECHS!!!!

U.S. doesn't get it:
KABUL, Afghanistan - The United States is aiming to send 20,000 to 30,000 extra troops to Afghanistan by the beginning of next summer, Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said yesterday....
"It's really clear to me we're going to fill that requirement, so it's not a matter of if, but when," Mullen told reporters in Kabul....
Why, Mike? I'm SICK of MY GOVERNMENT KILLING PEOPLE WHO NEVER DID ANYTHING TO US!! WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE who DON'T DESERVE such SLAUGHTER rained down on them!!!!
He said beefing up US forces in Afghanistan was linked to winding down in Iraq. Mullen said the attacks by Islamist militants in Mumbai last month showed the need to reduce tensions between India and Pakistan, which would help bring stability to Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, the same war-planners he works for are fomenting that shit. Check here and scroll down, folks!
Mullen said the Afghan government was not as strong as he had expected, and engaging with tribal areas in remote parts of Afghanistan could be central to future operations. Mullen also said more must be done to boost economic development in Afghanistan, one of the world's poorest countries, and to make the Afghan government more effective.
How about CUTTING THEM IN on the DRUG PROFITS then?
"No amount of troops, no amount of time will provide a solution here without development," he said.
Then LET'S LEAVE!! Let us PROFUSELY APOLOGIZE to them (hoping they will accept it, which they probably would; they is better than us, Amurkn!) and LEAVE!!!!!

Gonna need those extra troops, too, 'murka!!
"Militants hit trucks on key supply route
PESHAWAR - Militants in Pakistan launched rockets at two trucks returning from delivering fuel to Western forces in Afghanistan, killing three people, an official said yesterday. US and NATO forces in Afghanistan transport up to 75 percent of their supplies through Pakistan (AP)."
Yeah, they are trying to work more through Russia, but we are also pricks to them!
