I don't think the mere presence of extra men will provide enough additional incentive for someone to cross that line in the sand and decide to start planting car bombs. For most that decision is based on "there or not" rather then a "few to many".

Now we should keep the number to a minimum for the sake of not exposing additional men to that risk who don't need to be there.

Am I correct in saying that it's the President that needs to respond to shua's concerns. I can PM him, but I may not have time tonight.

Apologies Senators,

The original time-frame proposed was based on preliminary information that wasn't accurate plus,  President Karazi's decision to not seek re-election had not been taken into account.

It was determined that Kabul would require more effort to both stabilise the city and provide training.

Thank you Polnut, I understand there was a necessary rethinking of the timeframe, but my concern  now is to get an idea of the scope of the project during the summer/fall next year. So, our troops would be not just training, but engaged in stabilization as well; or only in training camps within and around the city? Roughly how many troops are we talking about staying in Kabul then, and how does this compare to the number there currently?

Once combat forces formally leave in May, the intended role for the stabilisation force will not be to engage in traditional combat but to act in two specific roles.

1. To provide a peace-keeping presence in Kabul, their rules of engagement will allow for the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure, as well as guarding the Atlasian embassy and the training forces; whose

2. Sole purpose will be to provide training for the Afghan Army.

In relation to raw numbers, the scope of the project is still being assessed, but after 1 May - the number of troops will be 5-10% of current forces (closer to 5%)

Thank you President, for clarifying.

My opinion is that if there is to be a peacekeeping presence in Kabul, that the Senate needs to specify this as being authorized  - otherwise I would read it as saying that our only role would be training.

The senate is authorizing a training force presence in Kabul.  What that training force does is up to the president and the military.

Then why doesn't it just say "forces" instead of "training forces" if they are doing things other than training?
What is a training force except a force engaged in training?
