Iraq

Asked whether historians would judge Iraq to have been a ““foreign policy disaster””, the Foreign Secretary said:"““Yes, they may. Then again, they may not.””" She will forgive us if that does not fill the House with confidence about her confidence in the policy on Iraq. She should accept that Members may judge, before historians do, whether the policy has been a disaster. Members might sometimes offer the Government some wisdom that could change the situation and—who knows?—alter the course of events and save lives.
