Oh & btw wrt the afghan deployment
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4521318.stm
"In Afghan government circles, there is some frustration at the
confusion, directed especially at the Dutch.
"They agreed to go to Uruzgan a long time ago," said one
official. "Didn't they realise it was dangerous?"
However, jocular remarks reportedly made by a senior Afghan official to a
visiting Dutch delegation about the number of "body bags" they
might need for the Uruzgan deployment didn't help, several western
diplomats have told the BBC.
I love the dip speak. Not helpful is a lovely dip phrase.
"Politicians in The Hague have also been worried about the treatment
of any detainees their troops capture and the possibility of the death
penalty being used. "
Whoops, looks like one unit in the coalition is perceived as being a bit
dodgy on things like torture & execution.
Hmmm out of the UK, US, Holland & Canada which do you think it might be?
