Recognises that the final stage would be a political solution; considers that in order to achieve this and for the Taliban to realize that they should sit at the negotiating table, the new counter insurgency policy must be given time to succeed according to the time table announced by President Obama; recognizes that once the conditions have been met, so that the Taliban do not negotiate under conditions of strength, then the only possible solution is a political one
Amendment 254 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 35 35.
