US commander says Afghanistan withdrawal won’t accelerate
Tuesday, Mar 20, 2012 Filed Under :Planet Talk Card News
A major US commander serving in Afghanistan has said the withdrawal of troops will not be accelerated despite recent upsets that have compromised relations between the two nations.
People who made cheap calls to Afghanistan last week were likely to have been shaken by the revelation a rogue US soldier shot dead 16 civilians, mostly women and children.
According to a report from the Press Association, Marine General John Allen has dismissed allegations that this tragedy, alongside the burning of Korans, will do nothing to speed up the US army’s exit.
Instead, the commander claims the schedule is on track for 23,000 troops to be pulled out by the end of December, despite escalating US opposition to the occupation.
General Allen was quoted by the news provider as saying: “I wish I could tell you that this war was simple and that progress could easily be measured.
“But that’s not the way of counterinsurgencies … I believe the campaign is on track.”
US soldier Robert Bales, responsible for the shootings last week, has claimed he has no memory of the killings.
