France has committed more troops to Afghanistan, although it disagrees with George Bush about NATO expansion.

The additional French soldiers partially meet demands by Canada, which had threatened to withdraw forces if NATO allies did not send reinforcements.

Al Jazeera's Mohamed Vall spent some time with Canadians soldiers in Kandahar to get an idea of the challenges on the ground.

  • Sorry didn't mean standards more like quota are goal

  • @TheMeanSgtPlaysPiano good luck recruiting standards have been cut in half this year looks like you'll have to wait until next April

  • @akropiss Long live the Commonwealth.

  • What a joke... al-jism is such a propaganda tool... The Canadians didn't enjoy a cease fire, they kicked the crap out of the taliban and won the peace.. and the taliban don't have free rein in the hills. De facto truce? What a lie! The taliban tried to use force to dislodge the Canadians and paid dearly for it. They simply learned not to mess with Canadians. How can al-jism call itself a news media outlet, they are simply a mouth piece for the taliban and al qaeda!

  • what's Canada?

  • i wish i can join the canadian armed forces, since there operate alot more professionally then americans. to bad i got bored in this giant shithole.

  • @akropiss FUCK YES! I'm getting into the Canadian Forces. :D

  • the fact that the teliban havent attacked is probly regrouping to deliver a deadly blow or consentrating on more vital areas rather than this base but these are just my hypothisis's maby a more given ansewer is ahead

  • The guy translating the afghan im guessing has a bit of a spring in his step...
