Feb. 13 (Bloomberg) — Australia’s forces are stretched to the limit and the country is unable to contribute more soldiers to help NATO troops fight the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan.
“We are already doing more than our fair share,” Defense Minister Joel Fitzgibbon said today in an interview in the capital, Canberra. “We really don’t have the capacity.”
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has led calls for North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies to contribute 7,000 more combat soldiers to southern Afghanistan. Australia is a partner of NATO’s International Security Assistance Force and has 1,000 personnel in southern Uruzgan province and around Kandahar Airport.
A U.S.-led military coalition ousted the Taliban after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, then handed the Afghan mission over to NATO command as President George W. Bush’s attention shifted to Iraq. Pitched to Europeans as a peacekeeping assignment, the increasingly violent campaign is losing public support in Canada and Europe.

Allahu Akbar!
The mujahideen stayed steadfast in the Jihad and Allah Azzawajaal rewarded them and Inshallah will continue to reward them with victories. This is great new for the every one except the murtads and the mushrikeen, may Allah continue to embarrass the kuffar and the hypocrites ameen.
