Hundreds of Afghan troops and forces from other countries, including Australia, Denmark, France, Germany and Norway, were involved in the attack on the regrouped al Qaeda and Taliban forces, many believed to be dug in with their families.
Who'd a thunk it?

What's really scary is the thought of Australian fighting forces! Imagine their confusion as they have to realign themselves from the Southern to the Northern hemisphere, without feeling like they're "upside-down" all the time!!

That's right. Norwegian elite forces from the Royal Navy, Army and Paratroopers are fighting in Afghanistan under US command.
The US wanted forces familiar with extreme winter conditions which we were able to supply.

I can't picture Kent Steinhaug in Afghanistan.
The united american empire of the world. That would be UAEW. Cool, eh?

Edster,
Actually I LIKE Australians, especially ones with a sense of humor!
Norm,
That was interesting background on why those northern countries were chosen. (No cheap shot at Australia intended, sheesh)
Fredhall,
I cannot imagine a kitty in Afghanistan. But I CAN imagine a kittycat wearing an Afghan!
SS,
Actually doesn't this coalition fulfill some obscure Bible prophecy? The king of the Northwest or something?

'The king of the northwest', that's pretty funny. I was thinking that it obliterates it because the world is being formed into a earth wide economic coalition. It's just one world power stomping on any who don't play ball the way it dictates. 'Course i guess biblists can fit that in somehow. Just my thoughts. For all i know, this could lead to an improvment for the world as a whole.

UAEW - like that would happen, but then again better than USSTW - United Slave States of the Taliban World
King of North by Northwest.
