We need to leave Iraq
CAMPBELL BACKS MILITARY DEMANDS FOR ARMY TO LEAVE IRAQ
The Independent on Sunday has reported that senior military commanders have advised the government to withdraw troops from south-east Iraq without further delay. Commanders have said that Britain can achieve "nothing more" in Basra, which has seen a sharp rise in insurgent attacks over the past year. [Independent]
Lib Dem Leader Sir Menzies Campbell MP said: "Gordon Brown must listen to his generals in Iraq and set a target date for withdrawal. The number of British deaths and casualties is unacceptable. We have a moral obligation to the brave young men and women fighting in Iraq and to the British people to reappraise our strategy and start the drawdown of troops. "
