Sky News: Reports that UK PM Gordon Brown has offered more troops to Afghanistan as long as other NATO countries also send troops. It can be postulated that NATO will send civic help, train the police and other civic security forces but no real troop surge. The UK will send the troops to help out with the Presidential Election in August, it has been stated on the news wires it will be for a short time, but I have my doubts, one can postulated that the troops will stay and be added to our forces in the South. This is a bad strategic move but good on the political front, Obama will know that at the end of the day the UK is the only country that will be with the USA when it comes to going over the top, World War One phrase, when troops left the trench and faced battle.
