Czech News Agency January 17, 2010 Defence Minister wants to reinforce Czech mission in Afghanistan Prague: Defence Minister Martin Bartak will in two weeks submit to the government several alternatives of a proposal that the Czech contingent in Afghanistan be reinforced by up to 100 people, he said in the Questions of Vaclav Moravec programme on public Czech TV today. Bartak will thereby react to the appeal by U.S. President Barack Obama and NATO. The approval of the number of soldiers in foreign missions is traditionally accompanied by a battle between the right and the left in parliament. New Czech troops in Afghanistan should also train the Afghan police forces and they will have the Czech artillery hunting radar Arthur that the Czech military has not yet used abroad in their equipment. Bartak said the deployment of the L 159 combat aircraft is also being considered. The foreign missions have provoked sharp disputes among politicians. The Social Democrats (CSSD) are opposed to increasing the number of Czech troops abroad. This is why the reinforcement of the Afghan mission must be thoroughly discussed on the political scene, Bartak added. =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: [email protected] or [email protected] Daily digest option available. ============================== --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: [email protected] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bNM5nn.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [email protected] For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=TEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
