Brits to pull out of Iraq .......

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/04/03/nirq03.xml&sSheet=/news/2005/04/03/ixnewstop.html

"They" say the Iraqis can police themselves. I agree. Let us all call this war
and the Iraqi election a victory and get the hell out of Dodge.

"Defence chiefs are planning to reduce the size of the British military force in Iraq from 9,000 to 3,500 troops within 12 months as part of a phased withdrawal from Iraq, The Telegraph can reveal."

4. One thing the British are good at and that is know when it is a lost cause

They knew it 200 years ago and still know it.

5. Rumours from here are that they are going to Afghanistan

to search for Osama.

Incidently, other rumours here suggest that our chaps (the Brits) at one time had OBL cornered, but were told to hold back, so your chaps could catch him (if we officially capture him we can't extradite him to the US). He had other ideas & scarpered before your chaps had the chance. But that's just rumours.

8. So, does this put them in the "agin us" column???

I mean, really, there are only two choices, according to boyking: with us, or agin us. We haven't the troops to invade the UK and teach them a lesson....
