What NATO Secretary General Fogh Rasmussen asks the Dutch government is to contribute a new, smaller mission, focused on training, until 1 August 2011. Our lead role will end and otherwise we will continue to do a little less of what we were doing and a little more training. Rasmussen promises that another nation, “with which the Netherlands is familiar working,” will take over the lead responsibility for Uruzgan on 1 August 2010. Diplomatic sources I contacted wonder who that could be. Americans, Canadians and Brits are busy fighting the Taliban in Helmand.
