Pentagon to send more troops to Afghanistan as NATO comes up short
Source: Washington Times (sorry)
The Obama administration is preparing to add as many as 1,000 troops to the U.S. ground forces that will remain in Afghanistan next year in order to fill a gap left by NATO partners, according to a media report Tuesday.
Three sources with direct knowledge of the situation told Reuters that final U.S. troop numbers are still being discussed. But one of the sources said that at least several hundred American soldiers will be on the ground than initially planned.
“If they hadn’t done that, the NATO mission would have lost bases,” the source said.
Reuters reported that under the U.S. commitment, described as a “bridging solution” until other nations fulfill their pledges later in the year or the troops are no longer needed, Washington may provide up to 1,000 extra troops.

Afghanistan will become President Obama's Vietnam.
And so it is ... 
that begs an analysis. Oh never mind, those NATO countries are not going to support american imperialist empire anymore, I guess.
Those goddamn PNAC war monger/empire striving jerks knew just what kind of mess they were creating for the next generation of american political leaders and assured our continuing loss of respect in the eyes of the world population and, in their PNAC arrogance, they DID NOT CARE.
