Jorrit Kamminga on the Islam Channel - August 20 2008

Jorrit Kamminga of The International Council on Security and Development (ICOS)talks to the Islam Channel about the significance of France's worst loss of troops in Afghanistan to date. As the country shows little sign of improvement, Taliban forces prove their strength by challenging NATO-ISAF and Afghan troops on an unprecedented level. While Sarkozy stands strong in his country's commitment to Afghanistan, many others are waning under the pressure of public opinion. Jorrit Kamminga explains why ICOS is calling for a substantial troop surge - to boost not only morale, but our slimming chances of victory in a war we cannot afford to lose.
