Cheney: NATO must do more for Afghanistan

[Contrary1]

Calling all allies: Y'all come back now, ya hear?

"KABUL, Afghanistan - Vice President Dick Cheney said Thursday the United States will ask NATO countries to step up their commitment to help Afghanistan recover from years of tyranny and war.

He met Afghan President Hamid Karzai ahead of a NATO summit where Washington will urge its allies to send more troops to the war-torn country.

"America will ask our NATO allies for an even stronger commitment for the future," Cheney told a news conference in the Afghan capital, Kabul, where he made an unannounced visit. "All free nations have an interest in a secure, democratic Afghanistan. We believe the commitment needs to continue and perhaps needs to be reinforced."

Standing beside Karzai at a news conference, the vice president also said neighboring Pakistan has an obligation to battle insurgent activity along the border between the two countries..."

Wonder if big Dick cares what the allies think. :eyes:
