But, outside the ring of security that escorted him, another day of gruesome violence was unfolding - including a rocket attack on a US base in Mosul that claimed at least 24 lives.
And, against a backdrop of continuing carnage, The Independent has learned a cross-party group of MPs has returned from Iraq convinced British troops may have to be deployed there for at least another 10 years.
Unlike the Prime Minister, the Commons Defence Select Committee was unable to visit Baghdad because the security situation was too dangerous.
One senior member of the committee said: “It will take 10 to 15 years at least [before troops can be fully withdrawn]. It is another Cyprus. The Iraqis just cannot cope with the security situation and won’t be able to for years.”

“It will take 10 to 15 years at least [before troops can be fully withdrawn]" OH PLEASE! we know it's not that. It'll take them 10 years -or even less- to have all Iraqis killed, ill, and lost. It'll take them less than 10 years to turn Iraq into ruins, and to satisfy the sick desires of the unqualified and irresponsible so-called-soldiers.
"The Iraqis just cannot cope with the security situation and won’t be able to for years.” HELLO!!! Iraqis want FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY & REAL Security. I personally saw none of these! neither do Iraqis, and it's these false promises that Iraqis cannot cope with!
Crap! first weapons, then Saddam, now security nonsense! When is this going to end?
I don't think they'll pull out until the meet the return on investment quota. I don't think they mean THAT kind of freedom, democracy and security. *sigh
I honestly don't know what the solution is, but it seems the longer they stay, the worse things become.
"the longer they stay, the worse things become", perfectly said sume.
It's sad the way everyone else in the world can see this (including Americans and Brits) but the governments of those two nations are determined to 'stay the course' - while things are getting worse the longer they stay.
Idiots.
