Iraq

Asked if the Prime Minister was concerned about the impending and threatened withdrawal of Coalition troops from Iraq, the Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman (PMOS) pointed out that over thirty countries still had troops in Iraq. He also noted that, as serious as the violence was, particularly in the light of this morning’s attacks, it was not universal in Iraq. The majority of the country remained calm and peaceful. On the whole, Iraqi political opinion supported the transition that was taking place. We had been warning for some time that there would be those who would step up their terrorist activities in the run-up to the 30 June deadline to try to prevent the transition. We would not allow them to succeed, as the Prime Minister had underlined to the House today.
