Mr. Speaker, what President Karzai said to the House was a humble demand for help to his people and help for the mission.
How can the Prime Minister stand in his place in the House and say that? One of the responsible generals testified in the other house yesterday that the military was taking money out of its own essential budget to spend for aid reconstruction to protect its troops when it could not get the money from the government department that should have been giving it to them.
It is absolutely unacceptable. We want the truth this time, not these political bromides.
