Blair 'agrees' with UK Army chief
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6049126.stm

Tony Blair has said he agrees with "every word" the new head of the British Army had said on the Iraq war.

The Daily Mail quoted General Sir Richard Dannatt saying he thought UK troops "exacerbated" security problems and should withdraw "sometime soon".

Mr Blair said transcripts of later radio interviews showed Sir Richard was saying "the same as we all are".

He said they wanted to exit Iraq, "when the job is done", and remove troops when no longer needed in certain areas.




OK, this has got to be total bollocks. Someone's gotten to the general :eyes:

1. The British People have had quite enough ...
I feel that there will be much more political fall-out earlier rather than later in Britain.

The sh*t is about to hit the fan in the UK. Let's hope that US Good People in America will take detailed notes.

Throw the bums out! :grr:

2. When the Brits pull out, does that mean I'll be eating
Thomas' Freedom Muffins to go with my Freedom Toast?
