KABUL, Afghanistan - A NATO-led international force is set to expand and will be ready to assume responsibility for security across all of Afghanistan by the end of next year, freeing up many of the 17,600 American troops battling militants here, a NATO general said Thursday.
The announcement follows a surge in fighting between U.S.-led forces and Taliban rebels ahead of elections next month. The bloodshed has led the military to rush in an airborne infantry battalion of about 700 troops on standby in Fort Bragg, N.C.

Once again the Hysteric Left is right, THIS IS ALL BUSH'S FAULT!!!!
Wow...freeing up 17,600 of our troops, that's bad news for the bad guys!
Yep!
Freedom is expanding!
Internationalize, Internationalize, Internationalize......thus sayeth John Fitzgerald Scary
I'd love to see them rotate back stateside for some much need R&R before a redeployment to Iran and Syria (along with our troops transitioning out of "Iraq" through ?Iran and Syria.)
Might as well clean up all of "Jimmah Carter's" mess in the middle east.
Moi Kerry, the insane Deaniac and other left wing $inators will say that GW.Rummy are outsourcing these wonderful jobs to foriegn mercenairies.
Well...the French contigent of NATO are "Mercs"...mostly
Italians, Spainard, Sout Africans, and Australians...a few Americans...France contracts to fight for'em...(hahahahhaa...thinking of the legion. A true bright spot in French military history.)
Messr. Jon-Jaques Kerry should know something about haveing others fight your battles...
"Messr. Jon-Jaques Kerry should know something about haveing others fight your battles..."
Moi Kerry loves the subtle nuance of having someone else fight your battles for you and then calling them baby killers.
Yeah...I love the onion, and I remember that piece.
It's wishful thinking, but while we're there taking out the trash...we might as well take out "all" the trash.
There's a twenty five year old precedent for war with Iran already set...when the jihadi's took prisoners back in 80...attacking an embassy is "justifiable" cause for Total War..Jimmah "peanut-job" Carter, wimped out...It was Sad to see a former Navy man disgrace the uniform.
These f--king pukes will turn their own words into a feeble, limp wristed attack. Big Bad George, once again, shoves it where Barney Frank likes it.
There's a twenty five year old precedent for war with Iran already set
Yep. The real heart of darkness in this war is Iran, not Saudia Arabia.
You know, I didn't think of it at the time but there is something truely scary in the Hysteric Left's willingness to lie out of both sides of their mouth at the same time. I mean think about Skerry. He spends months ranting about how lousy Bush was for "going it alone in Iraq" the turns right around and sneers at how Bush "outsourced" the job in Afganistan.
Just more proof that to be a member of the Hysteric Left, you have to be dead from the neck up.
"Audacity, audacity, audacity!!!" This is a quote from some historic French dude whose idiotic name I cain't remmemer!!!
I don't wanna git too graphic here, butt that sounds like a sigmoidoscopy ta me, where ya gotta eat big bowl of "colon blow" and they pump air inside ya with a compressor so's the live TV pictures come out better!!!
Man! The trip home is terrible from the bloat cramps, etc.!!! I don't even think Barney Frank would enjoy THAT!!!
Awwww, go ahead on my man.....get graphic wit it.
Kerry has lied out of both sides of his mouth since he served in Nam and returned.
Those lies and the support of the maggot MSM enabled him to become a US Senator and rat candidate for president.
Yep!
Freedom is expanding!
Gee what a great headline for the Dinasour Media.
"Freedom is expanding! Terrorists and other thugs hardest hit"
