Those damn Brits are emboldening the enemy.
UK troops plan Iraqi pullout by mid-2008: general
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain plans to pull out nearly all its soldiers from Iraq by the summer of 2008, with the first withdrawals within weeks, a top military commander said in an interview published on Tuesday.
Lieutenant General Nick Houghton, Britain's most senior officer in Iraq, outlined a phased two-year withdrawal plan in an interview with the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
"There is a fine line between staying too long and leaving too soon," he was quoted as saying. "A military transition over two years has a reasonable chance of avoiding the pitfalls of overstaying our welcome but gives us the best opportunity of consolidating the Iraqi security forces."
Goddamn Brits. Giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Can't trust `em. They're still pissed about the Revolutionary War.
When do our folks in the House and the Senate (and beyond... Wes Clark?) get behind Murtha?
So Bush now has his wiggle room. Will we see an administration withdrawal plan before November?
We need to seize the intiative.
