Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 12 December 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.


Iraq

My Lords, is the Minister aware that I strongly support the comments of the noble and gallant Lord, Lord Craig, on exceeding defence planning assumptions? We are seriously damaging our Armed Forces in the long term. There are two buzz-words or phrases in British military doctrine: the comprehensive approach and effects-based planning. What is the desired end state in Iraq for the militias and armies, as agreed with the Iraqi Government? That seems to be rather at odds with the concept of a free and democratic society.
