Well, I would certainly say that public opposition to the War in Iraq is huge in England. The coalition (countries allied with U.S.) is falling apart anyway, with most countries already pulling out. And, with an unreasonable chance of success, why waste the lives of young English men?
He did state that not all were going to come home until the outcome of the war is more evident, meaning he doesnt wan tto leave until it seem slike the U.S. will eb able to finish off the war. Unfortunately for him, that will be never. Luckily, he probably knows this, and is just finally realizing that he needs to start bringing his boys back before they are all dead.

This is probably the sensible way for Tony Blair to do. Remember that he announced last year that he will be stepping down as Prime Minister sometime this year. So, it might be that he is doing preparations so as not to pass the burden of war to the next Prime Minister.
On the other hand, Bush need not worry about the current quagmire in Iraq. When his term ends, he'll simply pass the whole mess for the next President to sort out. Then the failure of the Iraq war can no longer be blamed on him. The new President will own it. A very smart plan indeed.
But for the meantime, more American soldiers will die needlessly...

Because probably you are not British.
Blair is responsible to look after the interest of his country/people and not Bush or America.
He has done enough and deserves appreciation for this huge unwarranted sacrifice/cooperation that has resulted into loss of precious lives of British soldiers without any of their national cause.
US must learn from Blair and call the troops back. If Bush delays it , Hillary shall have to manage after one year.

Too many are dying, and it's gone on way too long.
I suspect he's seen through the lies that the USA have used to back their campaign of death.
America is trying to conquer the world... why can't people see that?
They will always create a 'reason' to forcibly walk into countries and take over their profitable resources. Ask yourself - if America really cared about dictatorships etc.... why haven't they left now that Hussein is dead? Why don't they go after other insane dictators like Mugabe, a man who has killed thousands/millions, continues to rape foreign aid and watch his own people die?
Ask yourself some real serious questions... not silly ones.

Because, they're bunch of Morons. They have no clue or slightest idea, what they're doing ! They made up a lame excuse to invade and went in, killed as much as they could, stole some oil and god knows what, which we will find out in next decade or two ! tested their new weapons and ya rah, ya rah, ya rah....now, one idiot is out, and world awaiting to see, what the other idiot, bush is up to, or worse yet, how much more disaster bush will create and eventually, his tail between his****, and that's it, the end ! only poor Iraqi's remain with the uncertain future to clean up their mess and wash the blood, if not worse ! the war, Iraqi's didn't ask for. God be with them.

Blair is leaving because his continued presence in the Gov would mean a sure defeat in next election. Mind you, leaving his place to Scotsman Gordon, don't seem too appetizing, either.
