UK Policy in Afghanistan

Telegraph: Reports on a apparent split within the Coalition Government when it comes to Afghan Policy, the split it seems is in Conservative side of the Coalition, the Defence Secretary, Dr Liam Fox is following the VP Biden line in many respects of wanting to get troops out of Afghanistan, while other Ministers are for nation building. Lets be clear the Labour Government under Gordon Brown failed in Afghanistan, the death rate has gone up month after month and year after year, what is the exit rout out of Afghanistan, the civic structure of Afghanistan is feudal in many respects, that is not something you can change is years or decades, it will take longer, the question the new Coalition Government should be asking is how to get out of Afghanistan, we cant win in Afghanistan, all the UK can do is create more problems down the line for UK security, lets be clear the UK can keep an eye on Afghanistan from Pakistan through the ISI the intelligence network of Pakistan, also the UK can use the SAS and the SBS to take out any threat to UK interests. It is time to get out of Afghanistan.
