Actually, I am happy for the Brits. But why can't we (U.S) start a withdraw instead of sending an additional 20,000 troops?? Did the Brits do a better job than the US in their part of Iraq? Why do Bush and Cheney say it's a good sign the Brits are leaving when the U.S. can't??? I'm sorry, but I am confused!!!

It's an American war and Blair has came to his senses because he knows Bush wants to bomb Iran and Blair is against that so maybe Blair will get his tongue away from Bush's ***.

There are many terrorist organizations that hate America, in the Iraq area. Iraq can't defend itself very well. If the terrorists take over Iraq, they could start a new country, and build up military strength, especially because Iraq has control over many oil wells, which would give whoever takes over the country a lot of money and a place to build weapons and a military.
The Brits can leave because, they have a smaller military force, and the US is doing most of the work. The extra 20,000 troops is to replace the Brits. The Brits leaving is not bad, because we can still keep Iraq under control, and we have more control when less countries have there troops involved.

it quite is a tremendously humorous question. regardless of the undeniable fact that, the respond is quite straightforward. The British people have an inclination in direction of appeasement, which consequences better than their distant places coverage. you are able to check out the stairs that began WW2 to be sure the info of what the undertaking is with that. The investment and guidance of the British militia is easily above general, yet under the point of the U. S. militia. quite straightforward, the U. S. militia is the perfect and maximum professional militia in the international. There at the instant are not any British bases in the U. S., yet there are US bases in the united kingdom. additionally, with regard to the dialect of people... look no further than the reality that the British won't be able to pronounce water or butter by using fact they replace the letters er with the sound of an a. Gangsta rap? Pleasssseeee... American music communities have an superior share of stay overall performance sales in the united kingdom than in the U. S.... The British consume up American entertainment. i admire the Brits, yet come on...

It is mainly our war. Tony Blair says that the Iraqis can take over the part they are pulling out of. Keep in mind they only have a total of 7,100 troops while the US has more like 120,000-130,000. Blair isn't saying he thinks everyone should leave, he is saying he thinks they can leave. But he also said he agrees Bush's plan to send 21,500 more troops to Baghdad.
We can't leave because there is still a job to be done.

The British, aided by much more ethnic uniformity than exists where the US people are, were able to finish their job. The US task is much more difficult, and is nowhere near done. One may hope that it will be done soon, but the consequences of leaving with the work not finished are potentially catastrophic. Can you imagine Taliban-al Qaeda outposts on Iraqi soil, working on nuclear weapons to use against the US?

Prime Minister Blair of England finally came to his senses, but Bush apparently does not have any senses to come to. That may seem a little harsh to you, so let me say it a little stronger. Bush makes no logical, historical, or military sense.
So, he started the Iraq War, and his only goal now is to save his personal reputation.

The Brits were much smaller in numbers and their mission and location was different..They are leaving due to Liberal pressure that Blair can't stand up to and the fact that the Iraqis are taking control of that region...Mission Accomplished!!

The British are leaving Basra because goals were met: that's a nicer place in Iraq than Baghdad in terms of sectarian violence. The local government is capable of running itself. When Baghdad gets to be like that, then the US can pull out.

George Bush put America in this position and only he can bring them home.I think this would put a dent in Bush's pride he won't let that happen
