I don't know about pulling out, maybe we need to start talking to the Taliban? More British soldiers dying and now more questions being asked about whether we should be in Afghanistan or not.
I wrote about this back in the Summer in a post entitled 'Can there really be a military victory in Afghanistan?' you can read it here.
I think everything I wrote then still applies now.
There's been a real failure by the government to communicate to the public how our presence there is really helping in the fight against Islamic terrorism.
Although I'm not 100% convinced that British troops should be pulled out completely, We may need to redefine our goals and objectives in the country into something that is realistically achievable.
