Defence Secretary Des Browne has given an outrageous interview in The Sunday Telegraph saying that Britain should negotiate with terrorist groups such as the Taliban and Hizbollah.
According to Browne:
"What you need to do in conflict resolution is to bring the people who believe that the answer to their political ambitions will be achieved through violence into a frame of mind that they accept that their political ambitions will be delivered by politics."
8,000 British troops are bravely putting their lives on the line in Afghanistan while their Secretary of State for Defence is talking about negotiating with a barbaric organisation that works hand in glove with al-Qaeda.
This has to be one of the the most shameless acts of appeasement towards our worst enemies by a British minister in living memory. Gordon Brown should condemn the comments and Des Browne should be forced to step down over his disgraceful remarks.
