3. Britain to Cut Iraq Force to 2,500

A decision on further cuts will be made once the reduction to 2,500 is complete, Brown said, rejecting a call from opposition lawmakers to set a timetable to withdraw all British troops.

4. I love how the Bushies

are trying to characterize the Brit pullout as some sort of success.

Basra is now for all practical purposes being run by the Mahdi Army.

It should also be instructive to the wobbly waffling Dems in Congress that public opinion in the UK isn't going against Brown for bailing out of Iraq.

5. It should be apparent to the Dems in Congress

that public opinion of them, currently at rock bottom,
can't possibly go any lower than it already is.
