Proceeding contribution from Paul Flynn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 December 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan and the EU Council.
Afghanistan and the EU Council
Very recently, seven Taliban attacked a convoy that was being protected by 300 members of the Afghan army. Almost all those 300 fled the scene immediately, and one of their generals said that they have no motivation to risk their lives for an election-rigging President, for their own country or for the international community. The Afghan police are a lawless bunch of depraved thieves. Does the Prime Minister really believe that we can build a solid security service on those collapsing foundations?
