One of the many problems with our involvement in Afghanistan is that there has in the past been confusion about the key objective, so I welcome my right hon. Friend's statement today, although I remain to be convinced that it can be achieved. Given that there has to be a political solution as well as a military one, how worried is he by the recent resignations from President Karzai's Government of the chief of intelligence and the Interior Minister? Will he support President Karzai in seeking the compromise that is needed?
