A NATO spokesman says the chief of the alliance is urging members to make commitments to boost their forces in Afghanistan in anticipation of President Barack Obama"s decision to send more U.S. troops, AP reported. Alliance spokesman James Appathurai said Monday that NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen is engaged in intense talks on getting more troops, equipment, funding and other resources for the newly established NATO Training Mission. Its task is to enable a massive enlargement of the Afghan army and to prepare it to eventually assume command over the war against the militants.
