OTTAWA-Canada supports calls for a comprehensive reform of the failed Afghan mandate, but may not ensure the success of a new strategy that appears to be based on its own counter-attack
Rebel efforts.
Senior Canadian military and government officials have heard aboutS.
A report leaked yesterday said Afghan insurgents were gaining momentum and benefited from official corruption and incompetence in Afghanistan and a record of civilian casualties from coalition forces. Gen.
Stanley McChrystal, commander of the United States force 100,000S.
NATO forces in Afghanistan say the facts have triggered a "crisis of trust" in the Afghan government and international forces, which has pushed the terrible locals into the hands of the Taliban.
"Failure to take the initiative and reverse the insurgency in the near futureterm (next 12 months)
In an article on August, McChrystal wrote: "Although Afghanistan's security capabilities are mature, it faces the result that defeating the insurgency is no longer possible . ".
30 reports were published in The Washington Post yesterday.
Key to the new administrationS.
The strategy is to find more international and Afghan forces to destroy and clear rebel strongholds and then stay to provide security, assistance and economic opportunities for the locals.
This will transform the face of NATO forces from temporary intruders to protectors and friends.
He may not have mentioned this, but when he detailed his winning conditions, McChrystal seems to have taken Canada into account.
Just a few months of his work, in deep thinking about the state of war, McChrystal went to Deh-in July-e-
Bagh is a small village south of Kandahar city, and the Canadian military uses it as the center of the anti-system.
Rebel efforts.
McChrystal saw a mini there.
Security forces, economic development, health care, education and other aspects are surging.
Foreign troops support local residents and local people support the Afghan government.
"It's stronger than any round we can shoot," mcchrydges declared . ".
For the 2,850 Canadian soldiers in Kandahar, the outlook is not always so optimistic.
In September 2006, there was a ground-breaking battle with the Taliban in the Panjwaii region, when Canadian soldiers cleared the insurgents and returned only a few months later.
There is not enough NATO forces at all to stop the enemy fighting, and about 24 Canadians have been killed in fighting and roadside bombs in Panjwaii since 2006 battles.
Since its mission began in early 2002, Canada has lost 131 soldiers in Afghanistan. An influx of U. S.
Earlier this year, troops traveling to southern Afghanistan allowed Canadian soldiers to focus more narrowly and strategically.
The result is this.
Method called "model village" in Dehe-Bagh.
The plan sounds simple: starting from the beach of a village, spreading confidence, trust and security in Kandahar province is like a stain, and Kandahar province is one of the most violent and turbulent provinces in the country.
In return for working with Canadians, villagers received solar energy
Street lights, roads, mosques, money. Gen.
Walter Natynczyk, Canada's chief of defense staff, said that the result had created hundreds of local jobs and caused other villages and regions
"The economy is growing, which directly affects security because if they are in good economic condition, you are helping the government to be safe," said Ahamadullah Nazak, head of the Dand region, who told Canadian media earlier this month.
"Traditional wisdom is not sacred;
"Safety may not come from the barrel," McChrystal wrote in his report . ".
"Better protection of power may be counter-intuitive;
It may come from less armor and less distance population.
"Nevertheless, there is still some doubt about the possibility of a successful fight against the revived Taliban in Canada and what will happen to these efforts when the Canadian delegation ends on 2011.
The unscheduled release of the report comes as public opinion around the world seems to be shifting to more engagement in war.
In Canada, Colin Kenny, chairman of the Senate Defense Committee, called for the end of the Afghan mission and the chairman of the US Defense CommitteeS.
The Senate military committee warned against additional troops.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said on Thursday that it was time to consider leaving Afghanistan "as soon as possible" in response to the death of six Italian soldiers in Kabul earlier in the day.
Defense Minister Peter McKay said yesterday that he supported McChrystal's call for more troops, but Prime Minister Stephen Harper reiterated that they would not, given that Parliament's mandate lasted only two years
On the contrary, Harper seems to transfer the country's future responsibility to the Afghan government, whose legitimacy is in chaos after reports of widespread corruption, this is largely due to President Karzai's campaign in last month's presidential election.
"In 2011, our time in Afghanistan was almost as long as our time in the two world wars, and I think, within that time frame, the Prime Minister said: "We must see some of the results that the Afghan government has achieved on the ground, because it is about their own security. ".
In an interview with CBC Radio in Edmonton, Mackay highlighted the country's "significant progress", but then compared the difficulties of Afghanistan with the British war during World War II, during World War II, britain suffered sustained German bombing in the summer and autumn of 1940.
"Europe seems to have lost everything about 70 years ago, and through the great efforts of Canadians and Britons and others, we are able to turn things around," he said: "So this is not a place we haven't been to before. ".
