PLANNED SURGE OF US TROOPS INTO IRAQ

That this House notes the proposals under consideration by the Bush Administration for a surge of troops into Iraq; concurs with the view of former NATO supreme commander General Wesley Clark that this strategy would backfire; and calls upon the British Government to distance itself from this misguided policy and to seek to promote an exit strategy from Iraq based upon a diplomatic and political solution to the current conflict.
