Looks that way, at least after Blair leaves:

The head of the British Army has said the presence of UK armed forces in Iraq "exacerbates the security problems".
Sir Richard Dannatt, Chief of the General Staff, has said that the British should "get out some time soon".

He also said: "Let's face it, the military campaign we fought in 2003, effectively kicked the door in."

There are currently more than 7,000 British soldiers in Iraq, based largely in Basra in the south of the couintry.
The comments directly contradicted so much of what the government had said. Sir Richard might be issuing a "very public warning" to the next prime minister, Sir Richard added that any initial tolerance "has largely turned to intolerance. That is a fact."

Sir Richard, who took on his role in August, also said planning for what happened after the initial successful war military offensive was "poor, probably based more on optimism than sound planning".

Answer 1

Let's hope so. End our shame. We should never have been involved in this at all.

Answer 2

There was a time not so long ago, when people who were employed by a government body or the armed services,got on with the job they were paid to do. Not so these days it seems. Instead we see high ranking Military personnel, poncing about in front of a T.V camera, stating THEIR views on how the war should be directed.Their views are not necessarily those of the government or the armed forces, if some smart Alec of a soldier thinks he knows better than strategists, then he should tell the people in charge; not announce his views to the `world and his wife`via world-wide T.V.

Answer 3

The U.S. has been delivering components of Iraq lower back to Iraq all 300 and sixty 5 days. via the begining of next 300 and sixty 5 days over seventy 5% of Iraq would be interior the palms of Iraq. a sort of components is Basra. The British infantrymen will no longer be needed there. they are going to in all probability finally end up in Afganistan. My wager is the U.S. will pull out in late 2007 or early 2008.

Answer 4

So you are quoting Sir Richard stating that the war was a success, but the aftermath is flawed? In what war wasn't it? Still nice to see you convincing people to stand behind President Bush's call for war.

Answer 5

I'm British. living in britainland.
the decision to go into Iraq was not universally supported.
the current debate is about what may be more damaging (to Britain's image etc) Pull out and leave mayhem, or stay there and cause havoc?
there is no "right answer".
we simply shouldn't have gone in there to start with. any of us.

Answer 6

Dear Sir, even the British remembor how we kicked there *** and still bailed them out so what is your point?

Answer 7

It's not "cut and run." It's INVADE & OCCUPY (at least until we get our oil, which somehow got under THEIR soil).

Answer 8

two more years, when the democrats get back in, we'll run too

Answer 9

Get over it. KERRY LOST, BUSH WON.

SORE LOSER!
