Video: British Politician Says Britain Needs To Get Its Act Together Regarding Afghanistan Commitment
Normally I have no time at all for the Lib Dems, but this needed to be said.
Losing 9 troops in as many days is always going to be tragic, but it would be different if there was a clear idea of our objectives and we were genuinely making life better for he natives; from what I've seen, most Afghan tribal rule is going to be Islamist by our standards, so it's time to ask what we are doing there.
We either admit this is a proper, full scale war and just what that war is fighting and stop messing around, or we should leave.
But this won't happen - the government likes to talk tough and act soft, just like with everything else.
We're now being asked to put our troops' lives in danger to save Afghan human shields - which will surely increase our death tolls and encourage the Taliban to be more ruthless.
