Proceeding contribution from Derek Twigg (Labour) 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
Perhaps there is some clever strategy to say to Karzai, ““You've got to get your act together. We're getting out in five years so get it sorted,”” but I would find that quite bizarre given the nature of Afghanistan politics and Karzai. However, there is another question. If we are 100% committed because Afghanistan is so important to our national security, why are we imposing a five-year deadline? I cannot find an historical precedent for that.
