Proceeding contribution from Liam Fox (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 July 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan.
Afghanistan
What I have announced today makes complete military and strategic sense. It is what commanders in ISAF wanted to happen to make full use of the forces that we have. Our forces in Sangin have done a wonderful job, as will the US Marines after them. When our forces leave Sangin and move into central Helmand, they will do so with their heads held high, rightly proud of their achievements. Any attempt by anyone to describe that as a retreat is quite contemptible.
