		<description><![CDATA[The Defence Secretary said that as well as conducting the review, his priority was to ensure troops in Afghanistan were well equipped. &#8220;We&#8217;re all concerned about the political excitement here but we have to remember that in Afghanistan our armed forces are involved in a very brutal and bloody war and we have to ensure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I heard a rumour last night that the Defence Secretary was to be Paddy Ashdown and was surprised but quite pleased as I don&#8217;t really rate Liam Fox, the new Defence Secretary. Sadly the rumour didn&#8217;t turn out to be true. I believe it would have been a good move and with his experience in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good to see Liam Fox has reaffirmed that mental health will be his welfare priority if he becomes Defence Secretary. Defence has hardly been spoken about in this election and with Afghanistan on-going and Iraq barely over it should be central to the debate in GE2010. The Conservative focus is on a new Covenant for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[British Forces Broadcasting (BFBS) has a Defence Debate online hosted by Kate Gerbeau. First Question from General Sir Michael Jackson, asks if Defence is an important issue in the General Election. To me Defence certainly has had little air play and very little is said in all the Manifesto&#8217;s. It features Bob Ainsworth, Liam Fox [...]]]></description>
