Nederland en Afghanistan 8
















Dode Amerikaanse soldaten.

Meer dan 2000 dode Amerikaanse militairen in Irak en tenminste 100.000 dode Irakezen sinds het begin van de Amerikaanse en Britse luchtaanvallen en een uiteenvallende coalitie. Het Westen heeft de oorlog in het Midden Oosten verloren, tijd om naar huis te gaan. Vandaag berichtte The Times Online: 'PRESIDENT BUSH is planning a major pullout of US troops from Iraq amid rising opposition to the war on Capitol Hill and across America. After a fortnight in which the political debate has rapidly moved from how to fight the war to how best to get out of Iraq, the White House is looking at reducing troop levels by at least 60,000 next year. Confirming the worst fears of the war’s conservative supporters, who argue that more troops are needed to defeat the insurgency, senior military officials made clear yesterday that the Bush Administration’s goal is to cut troop levels from 160,000 to below 100,000 by the end of 2006. Condoleezza Rice, the Secretary of State, far from denying the withdrawal plan first reported in The Washington Post, said that a gradual pullout of troops could begin “fairly soon”, and that the number of coalition troops is “clearly going to come down”. Dr Rice told Fox News that the US will not need to maintain its present troop levels in Iraq for “very much longer”, because Iraqi security forces are “stepping up”. She added: “I think that’s how the President will want to look at this.”' Tijd ook voor een serieus debat in politiek Den Haag om zo snel mogelijk te stoppen met de militaire steun aan dit bloedbad. Nu maar afwachten hoe lang het duurt voordat dit bij de volksvertegenwoordigers daar is doorgedrongen. Waarschijnlijk moet er nog meer bloed vloeien.
