Commenting on General Sir Richard Dannatt's interview with the Daily Mail, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, Sir Menzies Campbell MP, said "Brick by brick Government policy on Iraq is collapsing. Senior military figures who were always doubtful about action in Iraq and its aftermath are becoming increasingly anxious about our role and the risks involved.

"There is no doubt however that there is a slide towards civil war. Time is running out. There is a desperate need for a new strategy led not by the US, but by the UN, providing for a peace process with a reinvigorated reconstruction programme and concerted international and regional engagement."
