LONDON - Britain is urging the United States to announce a possible timetable for the withdrawal of the countries’ troops from Iraq, a London-based newspaper reported on Thursday.

British officials believe that the time has come to give an ”indicative timetable” for departure over the next 18 months or so, the Daily Telegraph said, citing unnamed sources.

There would be no firm deadline for the withdrawal, and it would depend on Iraqi armed forces becoming able to deal with security in the country, meaning foreign troops would not leave until around mid-2006, the report said.

Thus far, no definite date has been proposed for US and British forces to quit Iraq.

3. New Europe and the Coalition of the Willing...

what about Albania? Already in Iran? Did I miss anything...

If only we could receive Fox-News in old Europe.
I guess just about two years after the Iraqi's were liberated and did welcome the american freedom fighers with flowers, it's just about time to leave.

4. Why would Bush pay any more attention to Blair now

than he has in the past?

If Blair had any guts, he'd just announce the British withdrawal
and leave Bush to face the music alone.
