Hamdam (love that name) is speaking specifically about the Dutch troops. I'd be interested to know what his counterparts in other provinces have to say about the troops from other countries and what they're doing.

Almost a thank you. Right.

Lizzie, I've defended the stuff you say in the past. There is no defending that.

Sorry, pressed the wrong button there.

Those words above are taken from Villan's link.


Isn't it great to see some positive words coming from Afghanistan itself which speak of all the good things the troops are doing out there. Almost a 'thank you'.

"Asadullah Hamdam, the governor of the Afghan province of Uruzgan, where the Dutch mission is based, told the BBC that peace and reconstruction efforts would suffer a setback if the Dutch troops left.

"They help our security forces a great deal in security matters here," said Mr Hamdam told the BBC. "In many districts they work together with the Afghan National Army, and they help in developmental projects.

"They are constructing bridges, schools, roads and assisting in many other educational projects."

Some worry that more will follow if The Netherlands withdraws their contingent.

The Dutch government has collapsed over disagreements within the governing coalition on extending troop deployments in Afghanistan.
