Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Defence in the World.
Defence in the World
I agree that between 80 per cent. and 90 per cent. of those in the police force and military want a safe and secure Iraq, but is the Secretary of State aware of a Pentagon report that states that about 80 per cent. of the make-up of both the police and the military are former Ba’ath party members? Does he concede that it was a mistake to disband the Ba’ath party in the way that was done after the invasion, not least because that got rid of not only good police officers and soldiers, but 80,000 teachers and 80,000 doctors?
