Hoon and Rumsfeld agree Iraq exit strategy

The US and Britain have privately agreed an exit strategy from Iraq based on doubling the number of local police trainees and setting up Iraqi units that would act as a halfway house between the police and the army.
...
Although no deadline has been set for withdrawal - partly, British sources say, because it may encourage the insurgents - Britain has made a phased pull-out its top priority.

"Everything the defence secretary is working towards now is an exit strategy, but without a public timetable," said a British military source.

Spanish and Italian forces could be asked to help train the Iraqis, a British defence source said. Thousands of troops from the multinational force would back up the Iraqi police which, at present, has a reputation for desertion in the face of the insurgency.

NO ONE BELIEVES ANYTHING HE SAYS,...unless they are just plain dull-minded!!!

This is "recovery propaganda".

The Mo Fos have MURDERED or MUTILITATED tens even hundreds of thousands of people and they have COVERED UP THE FACTS!!!

They are EVIL, EVIL, EVIL human beings!!!!

:mad: :mad: :mad:

The more aggressive police force is designed gradually to replace the 150,000 coalition troops and will form the centrepiece of plans for Britain and the US to quit Iraq.

(emphasis added)

more aggressive == death squads.

isn't this what Hussein was doing to keep things in order?
:puke:

"No, me first!"

"No, ME first!"

Etc.

theocratic mulla regimes take over.

satisfy the poor British who are realising their mistake in going to Iraq. It's also unusual that the British are still sending more troops to Iraq.

Especially with the fact that Iraqi troops training is sped up way too much.

(I'm basing this on the assumption that violence is continuing in the country, and that Iraqi security is not very developed).

As troops pull out, the situation becomes more dire for the troops who are left.

Just imagine what would happen to the last 100 troops still in Iraq.

down from there.

part of our "coalition" had already withdrawn from Iraq?

These 'liers' are getting so confused that their stories are running into each other and against obvious truths and realites!

And now they are settling on whose butt the pigs will fly out of.

What bullshit. If you're going to leave, you negotiate a cease fire
so you can do that. This is all about staying and continuing the
effort to control Iraq.

Probably a trick from Henry A. Kissinger old play book?

spoke out and pushed them into it.
