Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Dykes (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Wednesday, 26 November 2008.
Iraq: Ashraf City
- Question
- My Lords, aside from the special and heart-rending situation in Ashraf, is not the sobering reality for us all that, since 2003—five years ago—all Iraqi citizens want western foreign forces to leave as quickly as possible, particularly after so many citizens have been killed in Iraq?
- Answer
-
My Lords, the noble Lord asks a very different question. I do not know whether all Iraqis share that view, but obviously there is a dramatic change in direction in which there is a rundown of western forces in Iraq. It is important that this group’s rights be protected while we recognise that new situation—that Iraqis will be responsible for security and human rights in Iraq.
