On the Dutch and Aussies in Uruzgan

We know we're leaving.

In hopes of sharing a bit of the bigger picture, here's a bit of whazzup up with our ISAF neighbours in Uruzgan.

Item: U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden chats up Netherlands Deputy PM Wouter Bos, twisting his arm to stay longer seeking a continued Dutch contribution to the work under way in Afghanistan.

Item: Netherlands leaving Uruzgan =/= Australia backfilling (more AUS troops = "overstretch (of) Australia's mlitary capacity")
