Planned Surge Of Us Troops Into Iraq

EDM number 573 in 2006-07, proposed by John McDonnell on 08/01/2007.

That this House notes the proposals under consideration by the Bush Administration for a surge of troops into Iraq; concurs with the view of former NATO supreme commander General Wesley Clark that this strategy would backfire; and calls upon the British Government to distance itself from this misguided policy and to seek to promote an exit strategy from Iraq based upon a diplomatic and political solution to the current conflict.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
