Just in case your calculator doesn't work 7000 divided by 25 countries is an average of 280 per country.
Course...Obama's surge will see 100,000 troops in Afghanistan. The other NATO and non-NATO currently have an average of 904 per nation.
We've 100,000....everyone else has an avg of 904?
What a Sec of State Hillary is, what a mammoth and coalition based triumph.

The U.S. now has about 71,000 troops in Afghanistan, while 42 other NATO and non-NATO nations have a total of 38,000 troops there. They are fighting a far smaller collection of Taliban militants who enjoy a haven across the border in Pakistan.
