GERMANY: Obama’s new Afghanistan plan seems to be a hit with NATO allies. The same people who were opposed to all US actions a few months ago, are now jumping on he banwagon.

“We totally endorse and support America’s new strategy in Afghanistan,” Sarkozy told a joint news conference after talks with Obama. France will contribute to the new U.S. approach with development assistance and more training for police, Sarkozy said.

The China Post, who published that quote, also said that NATO’s ability to affect change in Afghanistan will help re-confirm the relevance of the alliance.
