U.S. pins Kosovo force on NATO's Afghan commitment - U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates will consider shifting U.S. troops from Kosovo to Afghanistan next year if NATO allies do not fulfill their commitments, U.S. government officials said.

By pinning the U.S. commitment in Kosovo to Europe's commitment in Afghanistan, Gates wants to signal that Europe will be left alone to deal with a still unsteady situation in its own backyard if it does not help the United States in Afghanistan, said officials familiar with the discussions.

See my post #6. Aren’t we in for some really good times?

How ever did we (and I mean mainly the European countries, although the US has its fair share as well) get saddled with such stupid politicians?
