« Gun Summit | Back to most recent briefing | Iraq/Future Inquiry »
Put to him that the Prime Minister had said yesterday in the House that there were signs that Syria might be able to cooperate over Iraq, and asked what these signs were, the Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman (PMOS) replied that the Syrian Foreign Minister had been to Baghdad, and our envoy had also been to Damascus. We had always said that we would judge Syria on what it did, rather than what it said. Not just on Iraq, but on Lebanon as well.
Asked what guarantees there were that troops to be withdrawn from Iraq would not end up in Afghanistan shortly afterwards, the PMOS replied that it would be better to wait for the MoD announcement on troop deployments.
