A Golden Oldie

Good old Sir Peter Tapsell. Of course "the Taliban" are not "international terrorists". They only want to run Afghanistan, never mind anywhere else, because there are Pashtun in it. And they are in any case exactly the same people whom we term "revered tribal elders" when we need them on isde.

As Sir Peter pointed out at PMQs, the "international terrorists" are now training in our ally Pakistan, in Iraq because we removed the bulwark against them there, and right here in Britain.
