France to seek review of NATO Afghan mission
PARIS, Nov 27 (Reuters) - France will ask its NATO partners this week to set up a contact group to review and reorganise the alliance's mission in Afghanistan, a source close to French President Jacques Chirac said on Monday.
NATO took over responsibility for security in Afghanistan from the United States this year and the 32,000 troops in the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) force are fighting the toughest ground war in the alliance's 57-year history.
Its mission is set to dominate discussions at a two-day summit of the 26-member alliance in Riga, Latvia, from Tuesday.
A French diplomat, who declined to be named, said on Monday that what was meant to be a NATO peacekeeping mission to Afghanistan risked becoming a mission that was trying to impose peace on the country.
France has some 1,100 troops in the Kabul area which are under NATO control and up to 200 special forces tied to the U.S.-led Operation Enduring Freedom. However, Paris is reviewing the deployment of the elite forces.
Så vor tapre allierede bidrager med godt tre procent af ISAF-styrken i Afghanistan, hvoraf langt hovedparten sidder trygt og godt i Kabul, mens andre lande har travlt med at bekæmpe Taliban og diverse narkobaroner. Og nu har Chirac den frækhed at påstå, at Frankrig deltager under falske forudsætninger: "Mon Dieus, vi troede, vi skulle opretholde freden, og nu viser det sig, at vi måske ligefrem skal påtvinge landet en fred! Medvirke til en Pax Americana. Uha uha!"
Og nu skal de 25 andre lande i Nato spilde deres kostbare tid på konferencen i Riga med at diskutere dette nyeste påfund fra en wannabe stormagt.
Sjovt nok har Frankrig ikke samme skrupler når de selv invaderer ludfattige afrikanske lande for at "påtvinge" disse lande "fred". Forudsat, disse lande besider store u-udnyttede naturrigdomme.
Og ikke er muslimske.
