Australian PM: NATO forces must do more to stabilize Afghanistan

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said Monday it is "critical" that NATO countries to more to stabilize Afghanistan or risk losing the war.

"This is quite critical, particularly given the further resurgence of the opium crop, the illicit economy, the amount of narco-finance which is rolling out of that part of the world," Rudd told reporters in Canberra. "Unless we stabilize Afghanistan we have got problems beyond those that we experience at the moment." (AP)
