It seems that the US military is now considering three options for Iraq: more troops, fewer troops (but for a longer time) and no troops at all -- the ol' cut and run. Many say, and I tend to agree "It is the lingo of Vietnam". Older men asking younger men to die while they try to figure something out. We have been there.

IMO: Pull out UK troops from Iraq very ASAP, preferably now, and concentrate them in Afghanistan - honorable enough. Brown may do this.
