That this House notes that the Bush administration in the US has announced that it will not seek funding for the reconstruction of Iraq; and considers that after having devastated the country during the 2003 war, failing to provide Iraq with stability and security in the subsequent period, diverting money earmarked for reconstruction to its own military costs and presiding over one of the biggest thefts of a country's resources in the history of the worlds this announcement amounts to a policy of cut and run.

That this House notes that, in regard to the recent killing of civilians in Andijan, Uzbekistan, the United States, which pays over $50 million to the Uzbeks for operating a major military base in the country, has gone along with the Muslim terrorists' falsehood of the Karimov regime and failed properly to criticise this gross human rights abuse, exposing a double standard in calling for democracy and human rights around the world whilst soft-pedalling where it considers it has a strategic interest; recalls, however, that a US State Department human rights report explicitly asserted that the Uzbeks do not have the opportunity peacefully to change their regime; and further recalls that organisations like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have been scathing about the Karimov regime's human rights record.

That this House is aware that Mr John Negroponte will be the US Ambassador to Iraq after the 30th June sovereignty transfer, in which position he will wield enormous power; notes the content of the CNN.com report in 2001 to the effect that he served as Ambassador to Honduras from 1981 to 1985 during which time he was personally responsible for the illegal policy of training and arming Contra rebels inside Honduras for the purpose of overthrowing Nicaragua's Sandinista government; further notes that he also oversaw the build up of the Honduran military while turning a blind eye to their campaign of death and torture and that during this period the Honduran military's Battalion 316, trained by the CIA, killed or caused to disappear at least 184 political opponents; further notes that despite hundreds of articles in Honduran newspapers reporting the brutality of the government's death squads, the condemnation of international human rights organisations, and the warning to Mr Negroponte by his predecessor about the alarming increase in extrajudicial military executions and torture of political opponents, Mr Negroponte has continued to maintain that there were no death squads in Honduras and if there were, he knew nothing about them; further notes that CNN.com said that either Mr Negroponte is lying or he is totally incompetent and the notion that he could condemn other nations for their human rights abuses is absurd; and believes that, with a record like this, he is likely to be a liability in Iraq and to UK interests there.

That this House is aware that Mr John Negroponte will be the US Ambassador to Iraq after the 30th June sovereignty transfer, in which position he will wield enormous power; notes that, whilst US Ambassador to the UN, he said in November 2002 in relation to Resolution 1441 that the Resolution contained no hidden triggers or automaticity that would allow the United States to use force against Baghdad if it failed to co-operate with the weapons inspectors and that the matter would return to the UN Security Council for discussions; further notes that this line is contrary to the position of Her Majesty's Government which maintains that Resolution 1441 was sufficient to embark on the war without need for a second Resolution and that plainly Mr Negroponte misled the world community on this matter; and believes that, with his record, including this, he is likely to be a liability in Iraq.

That this House notes the latest editorial of Liberation magazine, drawing on information from the Institute of Energy and Environmental Research, which states that the United States has produced dried and weapon size anthrax spores in far greater amounts than for the stated purpose of testing the United States's bio-defences, that according to respected British and American scientists the United States is attempting to develop biological cluster bombs and are researching the possibility of genetically engineering a new strain of antibiotic-resistant anthrax, and that this undermines and possibly violates the Biological Weapons Convention; and considers that the UK Government, along with the European Union should make strong representations to the United States and table an appropriate United Nations resolution, calling for a halt in this weapons of mass destruction programme.
