For months, if not years, Britain's defence chiefs have made it clear they are desperate to get out of Afghanistan. They have clung to the increasingly implausible claim that training and mentoring Afghan security forces was going well, indeed better than expected.

That claim has been shattered by Nato's decision, taken at the behest of the US, to suspend joint Nato-Afghan ground operations. The decision strikes at the heart of Nato and British strategy.

Analysis: NATO pullback heightens doubts about Afghan strategy
By Phil Stewart
WASHINGTON | Tue Sep 18, 2012 11:18pm EDT

(Reuters) - NATO's decision to scale back joint operations with Afghan forces may protect the lives of Western troops increasingly targeted by "insider attacks," but it raises troubling new questions about President Barack Obama's strategy to stabilize Afghanistan.

After ramping up Afghan security forces at a breakneck rate to allow for a drawdown of Western troops, NATO is coming to grips with a rash of deadly assaults by Afghan recruits who turn their guns on Western allies. Muslim rage over a film insulting the Prophet Mohammad has further stoked the risk.

It's not the average Andy Afghanny that's central to the issue, but the embedded terrorists who are wiling to die for Al Queda.

NATO responds to rising Afghan violence

Quote:
 
NATO has responded to rising violence in Afghanistan by scaling back joint operations with the local army and police. Officials say the Muhammad film has stirred heightened unrest in the country.

The atmosphere in Afghanistan has grown so explosive in recent days - fueled by the anti-Islamic film clip circulating on YouTube - that NATO has been forced to take action.
