kinda weird, considering the 'grand coalition' never was so grand to begin with. I guess it just goes to show why the shrub is increasing troop numbers.

There are 7200 British troops left... they are "securing" the green zones.

There is no reason too. The British have the 2nd largest contengient in Iraq, next to America.
But, Japan, South Korea, and I believe China are all supporting the effort now. They may send in troops themselves.
Even when Britian leaves we have 46 other nations backing us with troops on the ground and in support roles.
Lets, hope the small increase of troops will be enough to quell the issue. Yes, 21,000 is a tiny #. When compared to troop build ups in WW2 and Vietnam.

Because MOST of the Media is Republican and they want to only highlight the Good....ROFL (that you called Bush the Shrub)....
Also because if the US hear the Brits are pulling out we be jealous because we want to as well.

Because you're probably talking to Americans in America, not Brits in Britain.

that's what I'm wondering. It's seems like America is going to end up footing the bill and everything else for this war because everyone else is eventually going to leave us.

Because they sleep in their barracks to much...so basically doesn't matter if they stay or go.
