Er, wouldn't we actually have to formally ask NATO or the UN before they would send troops? (And we haven't asked.... :) USA Today had an article about it this morning. Seems we were counting on countries like Pakistan and India and Portugal (and Turkey) to send most of the 'replacement troops' so we wouldn't have to formally ask NATO or the UN to send troops... but now they (at least the first three) are saying they can only send troops if they are to serve under a UN or NATO command... not US command. Also they want us, of course, to pick up the tab for their troop deployments.
