Proceeding contribution from Keith Simpson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.
Iraq
The Prime Minister just alluded to the fact that the Americans, with some assistance from us, are reassessing the campaign in Afghanistan from top to bottom. I urge him to think again about initiating an inquiry into lessons from Iraq. There are obvious historical precedents—for example, the Mesopotamia inquiry in the first world war, which helped the conclusion of the campaign in 1917-18. The Americans are very open about this, so why aren't we?
