Britain to send more troops to Afghanistan

The prime minister of britain Gordon Brown, confirmed that britain will send 500 troops to afghanistan, because this country also will increase their soldiers in Helmand. In the house of commons the head of government said that he made a decision because the afghans president assured to him that they deploy more troops for fight whit britain soldier.

The notice was announced in the chambers common, just when they was recording the people that have been killed in the conflict and obviously, also they said some words for the family of the victitm: “ Nothing can erase the pain for their families. I know everyone in this House sends their thoughts and prayers to their families. Their memories live on."

In afghanistan, the britain troops are under certain conditions:
1.- the new afghan government must show commitment, and the afghans troops fight close to us.
2.- all the troops have the tools necesarry for the activities in thos country.
3.- the commitment is part of an international colition.
The second points is reinforced, because the troops are trained and they will receive all the help necesarry, including metal help services, whey the soldiers return to Britain. this topic is important for all politcis because in the summer, many soldiers died in Afghanistan.
Although; Brown sends 500 news troops to Afghanistan, the people are desagrement. “According to the Populus poll, a trirt of voted believe British forces should be withdrawn, The figure has increased to 36% from 29% in mid-September”.


In this notice, we can not forget USA, because Gordon said : “in "close consultation" with Obama before making his announcement, will privately be hoping the US president follows his example by making his own pledge.” However, the americna plans are uncertain.

  1. I always disagree with this kind of measures, especially with the matter of the conflict with the Middle East.
    I hope this cultural problem can be solved sometime...

    See you soon!

  2. I don't agree when he said that the soldiers life costs the protection against the "terrorism". It isn't a good argument!
    " the violence is not solved with more violence " ...

    Take care!

  3. Hello, I think that Barack Obama shouldn't help to Gordon Brown because he has just won the Nobel Peace Laurel and if he thinks he doesn't deserve it, at least he could reject that "invitation" to make an honour to world peace.
