Failure in Afghanistan a 'disaster'
Updated on 08 November 2009
Failure in Afghanistan would be a "disaster" for Britain, the Government has warned amid renewed questions over whether the military campaign can ever be successful.
Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth said the country needed to "show some resolution" as opinion polls indicated public support for the mission was waning in the face of continuing heavy losses.
Shadow foreign secretary William Hague admitted the Conservatives were "very worried" about the prospect of having to take over such a difficult situation in Afghanistan if they came to power in an election next year.
