What can be achieved in Afghanistan?

Labour MPs have been defending British involvement in Afghanistan in a week in which the conflict has claimed the lives of seven British soldiers. The bodies of five soldiers are due to arrive at RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire. Former defence minster Lord Moonie and Sir Jeremy Greenstock, Britain's ambassador at the UN at the time of the start of the war in Afghanistan, discuss whether British troops can maintain their current level of engagement in Afghanistan.
