DIWANIYAH, Iraq — Poland turned over control of an area South of Baghdad to American troops on Saturday, making it the latest in a string of countries to leave the dwindling U.S.-led coalition. But even as Polish troops head home from Iraq, their government is boosting troop levels in Afghanistan and preparing for a U.S. missile defense base in Poland. As a band played Poland's anthem, Polish soldiers hoisted their nation's red and white flag on a parade field at their main base, Camp Echo, just outside of Diwaniyah. Maj. Gen. Andrzej Malinowski, the top Polish commander in Iraq, then knelt on the gravel-covered field and ceremoniously kissed a sky blue banner with the words "Operation Iraqi Freedom" and the image of a dove. The top U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. Ray Odierno said "the timing is right" for Poland's withdrawal thanks to a sharp drop in violence that is also allowing the U.S. to slightly cut troop levels and transfer more responsibility to Iraqis. But some Poles say that leaving as things are getting better means the eastern European country could miss out on economic rewards in Iraq. That's the view of Leszek Miller, who was the Polish prime minister when the country joined the U.S.-led coalition in 2003. "I don't think it's a good time to leave Iraq," Miller told The Associated Press on Friday. "Now in Iraq, the situation is stabilizing and the time has come for economic benefits." But Polish Defense Minister Bogdan ... Source: features.csmonitor.com --- 5 days ago

Afghanistan began registering voters Monday for next year's presidential polls, an election likely to be the most dangerous and challenging since the Taliban were ousted from power in 2001. The Islamist militant movement, which has regained control of large swathes of the country, said it will not participate - and warned other Afghans not to. Still, officials hope to register millions of new voters for the fall 2009 polls, said Zekria Barakzai, spokesman for the Independent Election Commission. President Hamid Karzai is seeking a second term, and elections will also be held for 34 provincial assemblies. Violence is likely to disrupt the process from the start, particularly in Afghanistan's South and east, where the militants are strongest and travel is difficult. ...

The top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan said Wednesday that he needs more troops and other aid "as quickly as possible" in a counterinsurgency battle that could get worse before it gets better. Gen. David McKiernan said it will take more than adding troops to stabilize Afghanistan - including efforts to strengthen the Afghan government, improve the economy and build its military and police forces. Speaking to Pentagon reporters, the head of NATO forces in Afghanistan said there has been a significant increase in foreign fighters coming in from neighboring Pakistan this year - including Chechens, Uzbeks, Saudis and Europeans. And he said he needs the more than 10,000 additional forces he has requested, in part, to increase his military campaigns in the South and east where violence has escalated. "The additional military capabilities that have been asked for are needed as quickly as possible," he said, adding that he is hoping to get units that will be able to both fight the insurgents and serve as trainers for the Afghan Army and police. McKiernan, who is scheduled to meet with President Bush late Wednesday, said he was encouraged by recent Pakistani military operations against insurgents waging cross-border attacks into Afghanistan. But he also said that it is too soon to tell how effective they have been. ... Source: www.earthtimes.org --- 2 days ago
