Bush urges troop boost for Afghanistan

President Bush says NATO allies need to recognize the seriousness of the anti-Taliban mission in Afghanistan and step up with more troops for the fight.

He says the United States expects NATO member nations to "shoulder the burden necessary to succeed" in Afghanistan. The president welcomes announcements by some countries, including France, to provide additional troops.

But he delicately is stepping around the request by the U.S. and others that nations relax rules that are keeping their troops from Afghanistan's most dangerous areas. But Bush is making clear that more must be done.

He spoke alongside Romanian President Traian Basescu (TRY'-ahn bah-SES'-koo) at a news conference Wednesday along a wind-whipped Black Sea beach, part of the presidential retreat in Neptun.

why people look at fire but ignore the oxygen and fuel supply.The fire is constantly fueled bu Saudi Arabia and oxygenised by Pakistan.If you do not cut the supply line then it will never be extinguished.

Afghanistan was a training ground of Arabs and Pakistanies to train and supply terrorism all over the world e.g Kashmir,chechnia,Palistine,Bos­nia,Europe and US.There idealogy supported by Islam is to kill or be killed,to conquer world and implement 1400 years old system in favour of Arabs.

Wrong! the hijackers were Saudi. 911 was planned out of Saudi Arabia and Europe. Afghans are farming & herding tribes. Terrorism increased after Bush attacked Afghanistan, because like in Iraq he got busy slaughtering women and children there to this day (90 children just killed). Afghans are just sheep herders, you idiot. Bush also increased the opium production from nearly zero before the invasion to 95% of the world's supply today. Afghanistan is not a player in anything..Bush is a terrorist.
