Prime Minister David Cameron said that lessons must be learnt from Britain’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003 to ensure that war is always the last resort following a report that found fault with the country joining the US-led invasion.
Cameron was addressing the House of Commons after the release of an official inquiry. “There are some lessons that we do need to learn and frankly keep on learning. Taking the country to war should always be a last resort, and should only be done if all credible alternatives have been exhausted,” Cameron told MPs as he announced a two-day parliamentary debate next week on the report’s findings.
