Nato takes over Afghan security

Nato has taken charge of Afghanistan's eastern provinces, which have been under the control of US forces since the Taleban were ousted five years ago.

Officials say the move will make the force more efficient, as it seeks to secure Afghanistan for reconstruction.

And what, pray tell, is 'reconstruction'?

Afghanistan represents the biggest ground deployment in Nato's history.

A lot more serious than you may have been led to believe, if you only watch TV as a source of your information.

Nato's supreme commander, Gen James Jones, has said that Nato's exit strategy will depend not on a military victory, but on the successful economic and political reconstruction of Afghanistan.

Ah, so THAT'S what 'reconstruction' means! But who's decision is it? The 'democratic' vote of the government and economic structure that will benefit the DOZENS of countries involved in this 'reconstruction' I'll bet!

This is known as an 'aggressive takeover' in Business......
