UK PM responsible for soldiers’ death

The StWC stressed that every report about the number of deaths in Afghanistan would only increase the revulsion at an unpopular and unjustified war. The “lost” war in Afghanistan, as described by the coalition, has been extended by politicians and senior military officials at a time when they could put an end to it.

On Wednesday, Cameron is expected to read out in the House of Commons the names of two more British soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan on Monday 26 March. During the last three weeks, nine British soldiers were killed in the country.

Cameron formerly announced that Britain would withdraw its troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2014, meaning that in the coming two years more British soldiers and Afghan civilians could be killed in the so-called humanitarian intervention.

Lindsey German, The StWC’s convener, said Cameron would once again repeat his “nonsense about the dead soldiers,” who sacrificed their lives to defend UK’s security interests.

German stressed that the PM would again say that the soldiers’ mission was to protect Afghan people and fight against the Al-Qaeda while the CIA has admitted that “there are no more than a handful of Al Qaeda activists in Afghanistan and the 100,000 foreign troops are really fighting a resistance movement which has a single aim — to drive out the occupiers of their country.”

German underlined that Cameron will again tell the MPs the same things said after the deaths of six UK soldiers earlier in March, that, “Our task is simple. It is to equip the Afghan government and the forces of Afghanistan with the capability and the capacity to take care of their own national security.”

Moreover, German maintained that the recent news about the murder of Afghan civilians by a US soldier and the death of several foreign soldiers in Afghanistan has underlined the “desperate failure” of the foreign occupation of the country.

Meanwhile, opinion polls show that the British public are increasingly fed up with the UK’s military campaign in Afghanistan, and wish to have their troops leave the Asian country immediately.
