UK Troops NOT leaving Afghanistan in 2011 ? - MOD

Telegraph: Reports that UK Chief of the Defence Staff General Sir David Richards has suggested that the planned limited withdrawal of UK troops next year might be off the cards. Lets be clear folks the Coalition PM David Cameron wants out of Afghanistan, this MOD attempt at policy reversal is due to the perceived failure in Iraq, the MOD does not want to give the impression that it has lost another War and that the Yanks, sorry our American Cousins will have finish the War by themselves. Thus 10 Downing Street should come down hard on the MOD, its the PM that decides policy not the Army Chiefs, Afghanistan is a bloody mess, it will always be a bloody mess, how may British Soldiers will have to die for a failed policy.
