Do we have a lot of allies in Afghanistan at least, i'm sure Obama will try to increase support.

I know we have Great Britain (700 more troops recently).

I saw an article about a German soldier dieing.

So we have England, Germany. Who else has troops in Afghanistan?

Yeah, there's quite a few.

There are troops from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Poland, Latvia, plus the local Afghan National Army troops. There's probably some that I missed.

Keep in mind though, that a good chunk of our allies only have small contingents of troops in the area.

Yeah, pretty much. While there are other countries in the region, as well, it's mainly the US and UK that are running the show.

Would be still very hard form them to run the show without the help of the rest ;)

Well, of course. I'm not saying that the other countries aren't contributing at all. Just that the UK and US are the largest contributors.

this includes countries that help logistically and what not --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Participants_in_Operation_Enduring_Freedom

I can tell you one thing though...they need to send MORE TROOPS.
