Scotland's first minister has rejected a claim that he should call for the withdrawal of British troops from Iraq.
Scottish Socialist leader Tommy Sheridan asked Jack McConnell to admit that military action in the Gulf had been "wrong".
He said that the UK should follow Spain and withdraw its forces.

The SSP leader asked Mr McConnell to admit he had been "wrong" to tell MSPs that an attack would be justified if the Iraqi regime remained unwilling to relinquish weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

Mr Sheridan then challenged Mr McConnell to accept recent poll findings which, he said, showed a majority of ordinary Iraqis viewed US and UK troops as an occupation force rather than as liberators.
"These are the opinions, now, of the Iraqi people," Mr Sheridan said.
"Will you be honest and consistent enough to call on Mr Blair to follow the example of the Spanish Socialists, and withdraw troops from an illegal occupation of Iraq?"
