Dutch affirm Afghan deployment

The Dutch parliament on Thursday overwhelmingly supported the deployment of up to 1,400 troops to southern Afghanistan, the premier said, reaffirming the country's central NATO role and ending more than a half year of political turmoil.No vote was held specifically to send the troops, but Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende said the move had wide support.
