Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 December 2006. It occurred during Urgent question on Iraq.


Iraq

Many would argue that disbanding the Iraqi army and the police was one of the biggest mistakes of the post-Iraqi conflict and has led to sectarian violence and so many deaths, yet this weekend we learned that the former Defence Secretary tried to persuade the Americans to do exactly the opposite. Will the Secretary of State comment on that decision? Does he agree that it illustrates why we need a review of what happened in the Iraq war so that we can learn from what happened, both good and bad?
