    Classified By: CDA Joseph Mussomeli. Reasons: 1.4 (b)&(d).

    ¶1. (C) SUMMARY: In his pre-departure outcall December
    3, Australian Ambassador Martin Quinn made no indication
    of a possible troop increase but noted Australia plans
    to increase civilian contributions, including by
    increasing police advisors from three to twenty-five.
    The Australian Special Ops task force will continue to
    work closely with the US Special Ops forces, but the
    Australian focus will be moving toward new initiatives
    and deployment of civilians, including AUSAID
    development assistance in less-controlled areas. Quinn
    noted that Afghans in rural areas say they are tired of
    fighting and welcome reintegration programs.
    End Summary.

    ¶2. (C) In a December 3 meeting Australian Ambassador
    Martin Quinn recounted to Ambassador Eikenberry that
    earlier that day FM Spanta told him that GIRoA is still
    unhappy about the London conference. Quinn also said
    that during Australian PM Kevin Rudd's November 11 visit
    with Australian troops in Uruzgan, Rudd had delivered
    (by phone) a tough message to Karzai. According to
    Quinn, Karzai had blamed POTUS for Afghanistan's current
    problems in a rambling incoherent response. Quinn did
    not elaborate but noted that the Government of Australia
    was unhappy about comments Karzai made in his November 9
    NPR interview with Margaret Warner in which Karzai said
    the West is not in Afghanistan for the sake of
    Afghanistan, but to fight the war on terror.

    ¶3. (C) Observers, perspectives of the political and
    security situation in Afghanistan had been more
    optimistic in early 2008, but attitudes have swung from
    too optimistic to too pessimistic, opined Quinn. Policy
    shouldn't be determined based on optimism or pessimism,
    assessed Quinn, we just need to keep working at it.
    Uruzgan had been a mess a couple of years ago,
    troubled by lots of tribal problems, but with good
    efforts, today it is much more stable and secure.
    Australia plans to continue to increase its development
    projects in Afghanistan and is moving into less
    controlled areas such as Dai Kundi, where new projects
    include construction of a gravel road.

    Tribal Interest in Reintegration; Expansion of
    Development Assistance and Increasing Civilian
    Contributions
    --------------------------------------------- --

    ¶4. (C) Ambassador Quinn said his key message is that
    Australia is in Afghanistan for the long haul. The
    Australians have been talking to Afghans living in
    tribal areas who are tired of fighting and are
    interested in reintegration -- and want to benefit
    from development assistance programs, continued
    Quinn. On the military side the Australians had
    increased their troops contributions from 1100 to
    1550 this year, but also plan to increase
    contributions of civilians and will increase the
    number of police advisors from three to twenty-five.
    AUSAID is now in Afghanistan and will undertake new
    initiatives. The Australian military is moving
    away from reconstruction and focusing increasingly
    on training. Although the Australian Special Ops
    task force will continue to work closely with the
    US Special Ops forces, a large part of the
    Australian focus will be moving toward new
    initiatives and deployment of civilians.

    Keeping Up Pressure on the Dutch to Stay
    ----------------------------------------
    ¶5. (C) The Australians are complying with requests
    that they keep pressure on the Dutch to keep a
    battle group in Uruzgan, confided Quinn. He
    predicted that the Netherlands will probably
    keep a PRT, but noted The Hague is under
    tremendous pressure to withdraw their troops -
    especially from one of the ruling coalition
    partners.

    New Australian Ambassador to Arrive in Late December
    --------------------------------------------- -------
    ¶6. (U) The meeting was the out-call for Quinn, who
    departs Afghanistan December 3 to return to Canberra.

    KABUL 00003867 002 OF 002

    His successor Paul Foley is scheduled to arrive in
    Kabul around December 28.
