Iraq Crisis: Statements (Resumed).
I would like to briefly address the situation at Shannon. We know from history that we gave discreet assistance to Britain and America during the Second World War. In this context, we are providing facilities for a build-up in the Gulf but for the purpose of securing compliance. I suppose we are much closer to the US than to Iraq, just as we were much closer to Britain and America during the Second World War than we were to Nazi Germany.
