“We have told the Taliban in no uncertain terms that any attacks on U.S. troops as we undergo a safe and orderly withdrawal will be met with a forceful response. At this point we have discussed the drawdown with our NATO allies and operational partners,” a senior administration official said Tuesday. “We will remain in lockstep with them as we undergo this operation. We went in together, adjusted together and now we will prepare to leave together.”
Officials also said they have been in direct consultation with NATO about the future of the multinational military coalition stationed in Afghanistan. There are just under 10,000 troops in Afghanistan, according to NATO figures, and the force includes service members from Britain, Germany, Poland, Turkey, Australia, and dozens of other countries.
