Proceeding contribution from Clare Short (Independent Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Iraq Inquiry.

Iraq Inquiry

The military keep implying that it was the fault of the humanitarian agencies that there was no reconstruction, but if the military occupy a country, they have to prevent disorder from breaking out. That is a military task, and I underline that their trying to pass the buck as though disorder were the fault of the UN or the Department for International Development really is not good enough.
