Bush calls this a success, that Britain has decided to pull out at the same time that America is debating sending more troops in.
Exactly how is this a success?

Haven't read about the "success" part. I suspect, it will be said that the areas of Iraq where British soldiers serve are secure enough to turn over to the Iraqis thus relieving the British of the burden and allowing for their withdrawal. The Americans patrol the more dangerous parts of Iraq thus necessitating the surge of troops.

Usual load of rubbish here , what do you lot think ol Blair got up one morning and decided to have a war , there's thousands of people involved in these decisions involving all sorts of pacts and alliances which we cant possibly understand .Whats the difference between this war and the first and second world wars , absolutely nothing , they weren't on our soil either , in fact theres been nothing worth mentioning since the bloody romans , millions of our servicemen and women have lost their lives in battle over the years , and i have great sympathy for all involved , but at the end of the day they have all signed up to fight for Queen , or King and country and casualties of all descriptions are an occupational hazard , i'm not making light of that , but if anybody trains and gets paid to shoot at and kill other people then it stands to reason that sooner or later somebody is going to start shooting back , thats what soldiers , and all service personnel do . Wars will only cease when man refuses to fight , so it stands to reason that if nobody signed up then Blair or any other democratically elected leader would have nobody to send to war . Having said all that , i wish all our troops the very best and a safe return .

If the withdrawal of troops is a sign of success, then the sending of additional 21,500 troops is a sign of failure. Typical Bush logic isn't it?...

Bush is confused.
He's been on his revolutionary war comparisons lately.
He heard the British were withdrawing their troops and he immediately flew to YorkTown to see those british redcoats & frigates sail back across the Atlantic. Hence he declared their withdrawel a victory.

It is a success for GB at least. They will save their own people.
That is beyond comprehension. Success for US . Sending more troops means more trouble for them.

For the answer to this question, you have to watch Fox News.
They will come up with some 'plausible' reason why this is a 'resounding success' for GWB. They always do.
And the sad news is that many people believe them.

It is anything but a success... but that is not how the Bush whitehouse will spin it.
