Proceeding contribution from Paul Flynn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Counter-terrorism.


Counter-terrorism

Do not the six years of treachery by powerful people in Pakistan prove that the links of blood, religion, language and ethnicity between Pakistan and Afghanistan are far, far more powerful than the friendship of convenience between us and those countries, which depends on a continuing sacrifice of blood and treasure by us? Have not our excessive optimism and trust delayed the day when we can do a deal and bring our brave boys home?
