The general in charge of US military operations in Iraq appealed to Pakistan, Morocco and Tunisia on Friday to send troops to join American-led forces in Iraq, saying "this needs to be less of an American occupation." Gen John Abizaid, who as head of US Central Command is responsible for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, told reporters at the Pentagon from Qatar, said the withdrawal of about 1,400 Spanish troops from US-led occupation forces in Iraq, along with the loss of soldiers from the Dominican Republic and Honduras, compelled him to use US troops to take their place amid rising violence. "I do favor the inclusion of more international troops, especially more Muslim troops," Abizaid said. "For example, Morocco, Pakistan, Tunisia — they all have very capable and very professional forces that could be added to the stability equation once we move into this new level of political future that develops after negotiations in the UN or wherever they may take place," Abizaid said. "I believe, and I think Iraqis will second me on this, this needs to be less of an American occupation and more of an international military activity that includes Iraqis, international forces and Americans," Abizaid said. Abizaid also said the US has boosted its troop levels in Afghanistan to 20,300 — roughly doubling the total there at the beginning of the year. "Certainly, there is much, much work to be done in Afghanistan," Abizaid said, adding: "Certainly, the central government does not control all of the country. There is a drug problem. There’s a problem that also has to be dealt with, with certain individuals in the country that may believe that they have the right to maintain individual armies." "We all need to have the patience to understand that these missions in Afghanistan and Iraq are hard. They’re difficult. They’ll take time. But we are not in any military danger of losing control of the situation either in Iraq or Afghanistan," Abizaid added.
