Harper Tells Bush He Ready To Quit Afghanistan

A spokeswoman said Harper had talked to Bush on Wednesday about the report. "He underscored that, unless Canada was able to meet the conditions specified by the panel of additional combat troops and equipment from NATO allies, Canada's mission in Afghanistan will not be extended," she said. Washington says it will press NATO allies to send more troops to southern Afghanistan. But the Pentagon said on Tuesday it would not commit any more of its own forces there. http://ca.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idCAN3022978220080130
