Funnily enough, later on in The Times was a featured article talking about how the US was planning to stage its withdrawal from Iraq. Britain isn’t going to withdraw any time soon and will be in Iraq most likely until the US pulls out. Brown himself has stated that he won’t put a timetable on British troops to withdraw from Iraq. Furthermore, Iraq is less controversial in the UK at present than in the US (where Congress is fighting the Bush administration). Both the main political parties in the UK have said that British troops need to stay in Iraq until the job is done. Maybe your Democrats should take note.
Observant. Half of what leftist media say is wishful thinking or attempts to push public opinion. Scrutiny is prudent. Ain't FR grand?
