Proceeding contribution from Clare Short (Independent Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 31 October 2006. It occurred during Opposition day on Iraq.


Iraq

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that we do not have an exit strategy on Iraq, and that the chaos can continue for many years to come? Does he agree that if we are to decide on an exit strategy, we first need to know why we were there, and does he agree that we should not accede to the American aspiration to set up permanent bases, which will almost certainly mean a permanent insurgency?
