KABUL (AP)
Gen. Stanley McChrystal, a four-star American general with a long history in special operations, took charge of U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan on Monday, a change of command the Pentagon hopes will turn the tide in an increasingly violent eight-year war.
"The Afghan people are at the center of our mission. In reality, they are the mission. We must protect them from violence, whatever its nature. We must respect their religion and traditions," McChrystal said. "But while operating with care, we will not be timid."

McChrystal will command the largest international force ever in Afghanistan. A record 56,000 U.S. troops are in the country, alongside 32,000 forces from 41 other countries.

cupa

am revenit dupa ceva vreme. ii citez pe colegii de la tv, care invariabil, dupa o pauza publicitara spun: "am revenit in direct, stimati telespectatori". ei na?!? pe bune?? si eu, care nu-mi dadusem seama....
in fine, trec peste ticul verbal al tuturor crainicilor, cu precizarea ca lucrurile se limpezesc un pic, iar Cupa Presei la Cantat e pe cale sa se produca pentru a 7-a oara!
:-)
Bucurie mare, bere de la Tuborg, jurnalisti care stiu/cred/vor/pot sa cante, iar eu cu gandul la urmatoarea plecare in Afganistan. Azi s-a ofticat o colega de la Libertatea ca nu o iau si pe ea. :-)) C'mon, de parca m-as duce la piata sau la mol. :-))
anyway, people jurnalisti, va astept cu legitimatia de presa in dinti la HARD ROCK CAFE, pe 30 iunie (marti pica, nu mai cautati), undeva pe la ora 8 (inca nu am stabilit exact, but i'll let u know), sa ne simtem bine! :-)
