BBC News: Reports that seven hundred new soldiers are being sent to Afghanistan to help out with this year's Presidential Election. The mini increase will mean that the UK has nine thousand troops in theatre. This development is meant to be temporary, but one has to postulate it is easy to send the troops in but getting them out when your in a fire fight will not be easy. The security of the Poll will be tough, the Taliban/Terrorists will try to destroy the process, they will be helped by the fact that they have a safe heaven in the Swat Valley in Pakistan. While the West is increasing troops in Afghanistan the Government of Pakistan has to take on the Taliban, they have to go in mob handed. Other wise the West will have to send troops in to the Swat Valley and the Buner District of Pakistan to remove the threat to Western troops in Afghanistan and to protect the secular Government of Pakistan.
