Britain ‘must not rush for Afghanistan exit’

Whitehall insiders say Mr Cameron is keen to announce a much larger withdrawal
next year, something which has alarmed military commanders.

The withdrawal process may be accelerated by a Nato summit in Chicago next
month where the allies will agree a new timetable for reducing their numbers
in Afghanistan.

Brig Sanders said that Britain must keep its mission in Afghanistan large
enough over the next two years to ensure that the Afghans are in a position
to take over their own security operations from 2015.

“If transition is going to stick, if we are going to deliver something
that is durable post-2014, we need to maintain our commitment through until
that point,” he said.
