German forces in Afghanistan too stretched: Minister 

AFP [ THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 2002  2:18:55 AM ] 
 
BERLIN: Afghan interim leader Hamid Karzai said in
Berlin on Wednesday that he would be happy to see
Germany take over command of the international
security force in Kabul but German Foreign Minister
Joschka Fischer said his nation's military had reached
its limits.

"We have reached the limits of what we can do," in
international peacekeeping, Fischer said at a joint
press conference after meeting Karzai, who arrived in
Berlin from Moscow.

Fischer said German military capacities were stretched
thin with some 8,000 troops on peacekeeping missions
in the Balkans.

Karzai said Germany taking over the ISAF command was
"something we welcome. We are willing."
