Patraeus said we are making progress. Then why are the British leaving?

Question

Do they always leave just before victory?

Or is Patraeus lying as he has been instructed to do by his master GB?

Answer 1

The Brits figure... "Why not they can afford another loan." Yeah right! "master GB"... get a life!

Answer 2

Boy you just can't face you where wrong can you ? Typical Democrat! I thought it was a classic hearing Democrats eating Crow while watching the arm chair Liberals questioning Patraeus. He made them look like the fools they really are And all the whining Liberals can't stand the fact they where dead wrong and have been trying to spin this making them look even worse . Liberal Democrats couldn't be more Pathetic if they tried. But I'm sure they will. because being a Liberal means being Pathetic.

Answer 3

The British are leaving Basra and going to the Iraq-Iran border...Just read the article on the Drudge Report.

Answer 4

Because the British did their jobs. Train the locals, hand over the reins and go somewhere else where they are needed.

Something the Americans are incapable of doing. As usual.

Answer 5

The British are redeploying elsewhere because they successfully completed their objectives.
If you don't like this basically good news out of Iraq message, then, as usual, attack the messenger.

Answer 6

There's no need for them to stay. That's what progress is all about. Try looking the word up in the dictionary if you don't understand it.
