NATO allies, partners will continue to train and advise Afghan forces: Stoltenberg
2019-09-13
[KhaamaPress] The NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all....
Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has said the NATO allies and partners will continue to train and advise the Afghan cops.

He made the remarks in the September 11 commemoration ceremony at the NATO Headquarters in Brussels on Wednesday.

Stoltenberg further added "Soon after 9/11, Allies deployed to Afghanistan. Hundreds of thousands of troops, from Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
, Canada and beyond, have served shoulder-to-shoulder with US troops."

Furthermore, Stoltenberg said "Many have paid the ultimate price. And many more have been seriously maimed. We remember them. And we must make sure that their sacrifice was not in vain."

He also added that the fight against terrorism is a global, generational fight, emphasizing that "We remain committed to Afghanistan."

Stoltenberg said "NATO Allies and partners will continue to train and advise Afghan cops. To make them stronger, so that they can fight international terrorism and create security and stability in their own country."

In other parts of his speech, Stoltenberg said "Our military presence is there to create the conditions for peace. But the road to peace is long and hard."

#1  If peace was the objective Afghanistan shouldn't have been invaded in the fist place because the Taliban had brought peace and stability to a good part of the country.

This peace and stability made it possible to use Taliban-Afghanistan as a staging area for attacks on the West.

"NATO Allies and partners will continue to train and advise Afghan cops."

Afghan cops are enforcing the laws of an entity that shows a generally hostile, passive aggressive attitude towards Western nations and whose guiding and organizing principles are incompatible with even rudimentary notions of decency as defined by Western civilization.
