Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Stamford (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 December 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan.
Afghanistan
The Prime Minister's speech to our troops in Iraq the other day was deeply appreciated by military families in my constituency, and I believe that the statement he has made today will be equally and widely appreciated. Is it not the case that if the Taliban had succeeded in their aim of retrieving power in Afghanistan and turning it once again into a logistical and training base for international terrorist operations, and if the terrorists who attacked London and Glasgow in the summer had had the benefit of a six-month course in bomb-making and detonation techniques in Afghanistan under the Taliban, the results of those attacks might have been tragically very different?
