BBC News: Reports on a visit to Afghanistan by the UK Coalition PM David Cameron, the PM stated that there would be a moderate withdrawal of UK troops next year, the expect plan is for the UK to withdraw around five hundred troops in 2012. This is a wise move by the PM, the NATO Allies can not afford to give a PR victory to the Taliban/ Al Qaeda, on the whole on the strategic level the Allies are winning against the Taliban, thus this is not the time to take the pressure off, its not in the interest of the West for the Taliban to claim that they have pulled off another Vietnam type defeat for the US and its Allies.
