"NATO has agreed in principle to expand into the provinces"; what in the world does that mean? If other natiions won't send troops to Iraq I doubt they would send them to Afghanistan, commitment or not.
The story "Deadly U.S. Raid" is too much like dozens of others. The US (or NATO?) has lousy Intellengence you would think they would quit listening to them.
