Shortfalls do create additional risks and we try to reduce those as much as possible," [Ray Henault] said shortly after he arrived with the 26 chiefs of defence of the alliance for three days of meetings here and in Victoria, "and we also encourage nations to reduce their limitations on troop movements (through) what we call 'caveats."'

[Robert Gates] signalled that more NATO soldiers are needed in Afghanistan as he played down any concern that some NATO countries might pull their troops out. Although Gates made no mention of the ongoing debate in Canada over whether the deployment of 2,500 soldiers to Kandahar ought to be extended, he made it clear that the Pentagon's recent decision to deploy 3,200 troops to the south was not permanent. I did reach out to the Canadian defence minister yesterday. They had suffered a loss near Kandahar, I think the day before, and I wanted to make sure they understood our respect for their contribution and how much of an impact they are making," Gates told a news conference in Washington one day after the Pentagon moved to avert a diplomatic row with its allies after the interview. Ga...
We anticipate in the near term that the regiment will make a contribution to the Canadian SOF (special operations force) efforts within Afghanistan," said [Doug Allison]. "They will take part in the full spectrum of special operations contributing to the overall efforts in Afghanistan. [Peter MacKay] said Canada was committed to fulfilling its military commitment to Afghanistan until February 2009. "We will do our part in Afghanistan and we expect others to do their part as well." When asked to elaborate, MacKay lauded the contributions of a handful of allies in the south and hammered home his message, saying: "We're calling upon the other NATO countries inside Afghanistan to similarly volunteer and participate in this difficult part of the mission where we are making progress ...

Peacekeeping has a place of pride in the Canadian national identity. Canadians feel that their nation is a natural leader in this international endeavour. How is this national identity expressed, and howhas it come about? Is it justified? An answer to these questions requires a probe of Canadian public and military attitudes, a historical review of Canada's peacekeeping activities, and an examination of current Canadian contributions. The final question is: What is needed if Canada is to live up to the image of the proud and prolific peacekeeper?

Only an increased participation by other NATO countries offers a hope of victory in Afghanistan, he said. Canada is there today because Afghanistan yesterday was a safe haven for terrorists. It will be a safe haven again if the war is not successfully prosecuted. "I don't think it's an option for Canada or anybody else to close our eyes and pretend there aren't severe problems in other parts of the world. Two other reports this week also support Canada's position that NATO needs to do more. Britain's senior military officers warned of a potential "strategic failure" in Afghanistan unless the United States and Britain remain focussed on the problem there and other NATO members start to step up their contribution to the war effort there.
On Wednesday, Veterans Affairs Minister Jean-Pierre Blackburn announced the introduction of a bill that will allow injured soldiers to spread out their lump-sum disability award from Veterans Affairs over several years.

Mr. [Gates] said that NATO troops in southern Afghanistan were ill-prepared to fight a counterinsurgency. While he didn't name countries, that could only mean British, Canadian and Dutch forces. Mr. Gates was backpedalling within minutes of the story's release, expressing "regret and embarrassment" to Canada and other outraged parties. It was dumb to fault countries doing the fighting and dying -- the 77th Canadian killed in Afghanistan was being brought home as the story broke. At the same time, however, audiences in all three nations must have known that Mr. Gates was not entirely wrong -- most of our NATO allies are not waging an effective counterinsurgency in the south, or anywhere else in Afghanistan.
