When is Pres BO going to call on the NATO allies for more troops in Afghanistan?



We learned today that we are sending more troops to Afghanistan:

"Defense Secretary Robert Gates has decided to send an additional 1,400 Marine combat forces to Afghanistan, officials said, in a surprise move ahead of the spring fighting season to try to cement tentative security gains before White House-mandated troop reductions begin in July." (FOX)

I am not opposed to sending troops.  I understand the strategic importance of Afghanistan.

My question is this:  Why is it only US troops?

Where are the NATO troops?

It's time for Pres BO to get "very vocal" and call on NATO allies to do their share.
