It's a sad and dirty state of affairs Tony Blair will sleep smug and sound in his bed even while 'his team' at No. 10 starts filtering out the body counts and stats from Afganistan.
Bring the troops home VERY soon or else start shoring up the dam before it gives way. Once that happens, it's over.
Where are the Indian troops (their armed forces are significant).. why no contribute ... even a small gesture would be more than helpful. Where are the Brazilian, South African, Mexican, Italian troops ...? This is no game these poor troops in the Afganistan mountains are like placing a small defenceless child in a bad area of your local town at night and leaving them to fend for themselves.
