WORKERS, FEBRUARY 2009 ISSUE
Any attempt by Barack Obama to get EU members of NATO to send more troops to Afghanistan will be strongly rebuffed by voters throughout Europe.

In both France and Italy, 53 per cent of people said their countries should not send troops. 57 per cent of British respondents rejected calls for any more British troops to be sent.
