Proceeding contribution from Julian Lewis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 February 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq and the Middle East.
Iraq and the Middle East
Does the Prime Minister accept that announcing a timetable for withdrawal from any conflict while it is still going on sends an invitation to insurgents to redouble their efforts? Does he accept that that is not what he has done today, but that it was spun in the media last night that that was what he was going to do? Will he take this opportunity to distance himself from last night’s media reports that he was setting a timetable for withdrawal, which would have put our soldiers at risk?
