Iraq
« Cabinet – The Queen’s Birthday present | Back to most recent briefing | Nuclear »
Asked to comment on the view being expressed that Iraq was on the verge of civil war, the PMOS said that he was not going to respond to a member of the opposition in a specific way. However he was happy to repeat the Government’s view, which was that for the first time we had seen truly democratic elections in Iraq. There was an ongoing process to form a government. That government, like its predecessor, needed to be given the security in which to make the politics work. The existing transitional government had indicated that it wanted us to stay to help finish that job and we were prepared to do so.
