British support for military operations in Afghanistan is reportedly on the wane after Karzai criticized the performance of British troops, and seems set to stake out more policy independence.
Canada is already threatening to pull out in a year if other NATO members don’t supply it more heavy weapons/equipment and don’t put more boots on the ground. If that happened, and the British joined them, it would be hard put to “hold the middle” in Afghanistan without serious additional U.S. troops.
