Gordon Brown has ruled out setting a timetable for the withdrawal of British troops from Iraq, saying they still have "an important job to do".
The prime minister said in a letter to Liberal Democrat leader Sir Menzies Campbell the military still had "clear obligations to discharge".
He insisted setting a timetable would undermine those efforts.
Sir Menzies said Mr Brown was "ignoring the reality" in Iraq and should accept that UK efforts there had failed.
