GREATER CLARITY NEEDED OVER AFGHAN WITHDRAWAL
Responding to the announcement by the Prime Minister that he plans to withdraw British troops from Afghanistan before the next UK election which is scheduled for 2015, SNP Westminster Leader and Defence Spokesman Angus Robertson MP said:
“President Obama has already stated his intention to bring American troops home by July next year.
“If the US President can offer such certainty, why are British service personnel being fobbed off with vague commitments?
“In the run up to Armed Forces Day, we’ve seen massive public backing for the service men and women fighting in Afghanistan. It’s time the UK Government started offering similar support.”
