Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 March 2012. It occurred during Urgent question on Afghanistan (Civilian Killings).


Afghanistan (Civilian Killings)

This is a terrible tragedy. It is not the first, and it will probably not be the last. Equal tragedies—such as the killing of wedding parties by drone aircraft, and so many others—compound the results of this the 11th year of the war. As neither the Minister nor his Secretary of State is able to say what success would be in Afghanistan, is it not time to bring forward the date of withdrawal, and to recognise that this has not been a profitable or a successful operation?
