Anti-War Ireland, a national anti-war organisation, welcomes the comments made today in the Daily Mail and on the BBC by British Army Chief of Staff, General Sir Richard Dannett, where he criticised the British military presence in Iraq and urged that Britian should "get ourselves out sometime soon because our presence exacerbates the security problems."

that our campaign is centred on intimidation and effectively run by
subversive elements. ... read full story / add a comment
