Time To Head Back To Blighty

So this fellow, General Sir Richard Dannett, who is the top man in the British Army has said publically that it is past time to pull out the ramaining 8000 or so British troops in Southern Iraq. He says that their continued presence is only inflaming the violence there and is serving no real purpose other than killing and injuring British troops. The General still supports the now NATO led mission in Afghanistan as do I. Blair has to see that the writing is on the wall. He has already been forced out of Downing Street early, why not just send his boys home? I once truly respected and admired Blair and his New Labour party, but that was pretty much shattered by his slavish devotion to W's Iraq debacle. What a shame.
