Proceeding contribution from Peter Kilfoyle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 April 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.


Iraq

Is it not ludicrous to suggest that developments in and around Basra are somehow being determined by either the Iraqi Government forces or, indeed, British forces? Do not recent events show that any changes that take place are in the gift of the militias? Does that not in itself make the case for accelerating the withdrawal of our forces, rather than further delaying bringing them home?
