Nick Clegg:
The Liberal Democrats could stop supporting the UK's military presence in Afghanistan unless strategy is changed, leader Nick Clegg said.
This could be a little bit more groundbreaking and interesting if it mattered in the slightest what the Lib Dems think about the war in Afghanistan. As it stands, it really doesn't. If Clegg had turned around and said "you know what, we don't have a policy in Afghanistan because, as the perennial third party, we don't need one" it would have made just as much difference as his comments that supporting the Afghan war is not unconditional for his party. In fact, had he said that he didn't need a policy that would arguably have been better, because at least it would have had a greater connection with reality.
