- Brown was all set to announce a British pull out from Iraq as a big, new broom in office popularity move, but he got temporarily sidetracked by his very own hurricane Katrina with about 3/4 of a million of his fellow citizens standing waist deep in floodwater's. Now that he has managed to convince the citizenry that the whole mess was due to global warming, he can return to his original Iraqi bug out announcement.
Look for it to be trumpeted on the front page of of the NYT real soon.
That’s absolutely wrong. Brown stated before the floods that he will put no timetable on UK troop withdrawals from Iraq and, since he has been in office, the UK has sent more troops to Afghanistan.
