Proceeding contribution from Angus Robertson (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 September 2010. It occurred during Backbench debate on UK Armed Forces in Afghanistan.
UK Armed Forces in Afghanistan
Does the hon. Gentleman agree that in addition to all those problems, massive challenges are affecting the Afghan Government and Afghan authorities at a national level? Those organisations are the ones that we are supposed to be supporting. A financial scandal is currently engulfing Afghanistan, and it involves the elites around President Karzai. Is the hon. Gentleman content that our brave young servicemen and women are dying in support of those elites?
