Brown rejects immediate pullout from Iraq

LONDON: Britain's leader-in-waiting Gordon Brown rejected an immediate pullout of the country's troops from Iraq on Sunday as he defended himself against two left-wingers who want to challenge him for the leadership.

Brown clashed on foreign and domestic policy with left-wing lawmakers Michael Meacher and John McDonnell during a lively 80-minute debate before an audience in London. Meacher, 67, and McDonnell, 55, the only other politicians so far to put their names forward, will decide on Monday which has the best chance of winning the support of 45 lawmakers required to get on the ballot. The other will drop out.

Brown, 56, stuck closely to the reformist "New Labour" policies that brought Blair three election victories, portraying his rivals as seeking to return to old Labour tax-and-spend policies that proved its downfall in the 1980s.

British media has been buzzing with talk that Brown may speed up withdrawal of British troops from Iraq, the conflict that many Britons regard as the biggest stain on Blair's legacy.

But Brown defended the presence of British troops in Iraq and ruled out any immediate withdrawal. British troop numbers in Iraq had fallen substantially but Britain had obligations to the Iraqi people, he said.

"Whatever the divisions have been it would be the wrong time now to just say: 'Send troops home now'," he said. "We're moving to a new stage in Iraq," he said, because Iraq had taken over security in three of the four provinces that Britain took charge of after the 2003 US-led invasion.
