Fed: Howard will never admit mistake on Iraq: Greens

Greens leader BOB BROWN says JOHN HOWARD will never admit he made a monumental mistake
in joining the US-led invasion of Iraq.

A poll out today shows three out of four Australians think the Iraq war isn't worth
fighting .. and almost half want the government to schedule a timetable to bring troops
home.

The poll found almost two-thirds of Australians believe the country's involvement in
the war has increased the likelihood of a terrorist attack on home soil.

Senator BROWN says the Iraq war has done the exact opposite to what JOHN HOWARD assured
us it'd do .. and that's to make Australia more safe.

Senator BROWN says Mr HOWARD will have no choice but to prepare a plan to withdraw
Australian forces from Iraq at some stage in the new year .. but he'll never admit it's
been a mistake.
