Proceeding contribution from John Baron (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 March 2012. It occurred during Urgent question on Afghanistan (Civilian Killings).
Afghanistan (Civilian Killings)
Given the differences that there are between the Taliban and al-Qaeda and the increasing amounts of intelligence suggesting that very few al-Qaeda remain in Afghanistan, if we are to remain true to our original mission, does not this incident underline that the Americans, as the lead force, should open non-conditional talks with the Taliban in order to explore possible common ground, particularly given that the Taliban have recently sent signals that they are willing to talk?
