What happened after the military success in 2003 that removed Saddam Hussein was there wasn't an adequate plan about what happened next.

And when you've not got a plan, there's a vacuum, all sorts of malignant forces can move in, and that's what happened.

When you've lost control of the situation, you have lost control and I think a lot of what we're seeing now is as a result of that poor planning in 2003 and 2004.

So I'm afraid we're reaping a little bit of what we sowed but we have to face facts, we have to face the circumstances we find ourselves in, put our best foot forward and really confront this.
