Such a large increase in the Afghan security forces will come the challenge for the government to listen to national supporters. Up to now, the Afghan police and army have suffered from a lack of funding, equipment to reliable recruits.

From the current level of more than 90,000. President Obama has said he wants to begin withdraw in American forces from July, 2011, with Afghan's playing a great role in providing Iran security.
