It’s from an aussie newspaper, The Australian, established by Rupert Murdoch.
Everything else I’ve read on the subject makes it appear as if the British have totally pulled out of Iraq. (And that’s exactly what the Left wants us to think. Just another form of Bush-bashing IMO.)
ahh he of NewsCorp, Sky TV et al?
I’m just glad that someone has managed to find a decent account of the event. Pulling out of a city is only a failure if you had no intention of leaving it in the first place, which would mean that the reasoning behind the war and the subsequent occupation, were all lies.
