PM Says Withdrawal from Iraq Would Be "Big Mistake"

Ljubljana, 17 November - Prime Minister Janez Jansa, who made a brief visit to Iraq on Wednesday, does not believe that international forces will withdraw from Iraq even if their their role there was redefined following the mid-term elections in the US. "This would be a big mistake. A lot of mistakes were made after the toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime, but this one would be the biggest," he said.
