BBC: Have Your Say- Should UK send more troops to Iraq?
excerpts:

"We are in Iraq now so let's do the job properly. If Iraq needs more troops then we should send them."
-- Jon Pritchard, Manchester, England

"Only if they remain in Southern Iraq. We agreed to secure Basra and we should honour our promises. Sending troops to Nasarjia and Fallujah to replace the Spanish wasn't in the original deal."
-- Peter, Nottingham

"I say bring back conscription. And then conscript Tony Blair's kids. Then we'd see whether his belief in this war is really as genuine as he likes to pretend."
-- Paul, London, UK

"Our objective in Iraq is to secure cheap oil for US 4x4s. If we need more troops, the US should pay for them."
-- Malcolm, Wirral, UK

"We should send as many troops as are necessary to bring back order to the country. Send in Territorial Army members if necessary."
-- Neil Vincent, York, England

"Only if Tony Blair leads them into battle!"
-- Fay, Salisbury UK

"What's the point discussing it, Tony Blair will do just as he pleases, he normally does."
-- Martin, Cambridge, England
