More NATO Troops for Afghanistan?

Britain expressed confidence that NATO will be able to find extra troops for Afghanistan in response to Canada's threat to pull out its contingent unless it gets more support.

"I'm confident that the nations in the coalition are going to stick together to ensure that we can all make the maximum contribution in Afghanistan in an effective way," British Foreign Secretary David Miliband told reporters as he arrived for talks with his NATO counterparts.

US Secretary of State Condoleezza said that she was "hopeful" allies will contribute the 1,000 additional troops Canada has demanded to help it in southern Afghanistan.
