Labor edges away from Iraq pullout
March 26, 2004

THE Labor Party appeared to edge back from its controversial pledge to withdraw all Australian troops from Iraq by Christmas if it won elections due later this year.

Opposition foreign affairs spokesman Kevin Rudd said that a Labor government would consider leaving some soldiers to protect Australia's mission and diplomats in Iraq.

"As a government, we will be seeking advice from the diplomatic security service about how best the mission in Baghdad can be secured," Rudd said.

"We will be taking that advice ... by Christmas, the situation in Baghdads could be worse or it might be better," he said.

Earlier this week Labor leader Mark Latham sparked a national debate by vowing to unconditionally pull all Australian troops from Iraq this year if Labor won the elections, expected in September or October.
