"The report is a blunt imperialist challenge. As it states, it ‘supports the efforts of NATO forces to […] tackle local and international terrorism, and considers the presence of these forces to be essential in order to ensure the country’s future.’ It calls for a reinforcement of US-EU-NATO occupation forces with ‘additional combat troops’ and cynically demands that these be ‘unrestricted by national caveats’, meaning that they should act as occupation forces overtly and without any pretext. It stresses that the EU ‘should use the experience and expertise of its missions and of those Member States that already have a military or civilian presence on Afghanistan territory.’ In other words, it should utilise the homicidal acts of its military forces in the country as an opportunity to gain operational experience for its imperialist interventions elsewhere too. The concern of the political representatives of EU capital is to secure a larger share in the distribution of the region’s imperialist loot; they, therefore, stress that ‘the EU should encourage and help European investors to be involved in rebuilding Afghanistan.’
The report’s cynical confessions reveal the role and imperialist intentions of the EU and confirm once again that ‘the EU and NATO are both part of the same homicidal syndicate’. The popular struggle must be united against the imperialist system as a whole."@en1
