Split in New Labour over Afghanistan

Telegraph: Reports on the appearance of a split in New Labour over the Governments policy in Afghanistan, Kim Howells a former Minister in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has stated that there is no support in the UK for a long term commitment to Afghanistan. That is the problem when you have a weak PM, Gordon Brown in his day would not have tolerated that kind of statement from his own Party, but Mr Brown is weak, without the Dark Prince Lord Mandelson he would be have out on his ear months ago, he cant really counter the critics from his own backbench or from the MOD. The UK voter has to accept we ran out of Iraq, we cant leave Afghanistan, if we run out of Afghanistan we might as well remove the Great from Great Britain, its that simple and harsh. Thus there will be more deaths, as stated we are going to increase troops by another 2,000 thus there will be more body bags. Afghanistan is our Vietnam in less someone has a very bright idea, if they have they have kept it a secret, we cant win but we cant afford to lose, what a perfect nightmare.
