Proceeding contribution from Julian Lewis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 February 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan.
Afghanistan
Unless western forces retain some strategic reserves in one or more strategic bases in Afghanistan after the end of 2014, the highly optimistic portrait that my right hon. Friend has painted will not long survive that date. Will he confirm that America, regardless of pre-election statements, is actively considering retaining some form of significant military presence in one or more strategic bases in Afghanistan?
