Proceeding contribution from Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 November 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NATO Summit.
NATO Summit
The Secretary of State will be aware that the largest offensive operation by NATO in recent years was Operation Medusa in Kandahar in early September, which was critical to Afghanistan’s future. It nearly failed on day four—as he knows, I was there—because the national caveats meant that the Canadians simply did not have the support that they needed from other countries. If that emergency did not merit support from other NATO troops, what operation in Afghanistan would?
