Tony Blair, British Prime Minister:
=====================================================================
Is it correct that 25,000 British troops and the largest British
Armada since the Falkland Islands War, part of Operation
'Essential Harvest,' planned to be pre-position in Oman, the
closest point on the Arabian Peninsula to Pakistan before
September 11th, 2001.
Is it correct that these troops had been underway before
September 11th, 2001?
At which time after September 11th did you exactly start to put
SIS-Special Forces in Afghanistan?
Why?
