Judging from his statements, the Brits will remain in Iraq for some time. He is just making more politcal correct and “moderate” rhetoric, probably to calm down the anti-war labours.
This is a slight deterioraiton compared to Blair... but IMO what Britain needs is a Conservative PM, not labour. Howard would have been great.
But Cameron and a lot of Conservatives over there have shown heaps of contempt upon America. I’m quite sure a PM David Cameron will end the Anglo-American alliance on all practical sense.
That is true. We will still have 2000+ troops in iraq for some time.
If anything, our departure should be viewed as success, as we have trained the iraqis, cleared out a lot of the terrorists and helped build up infrastructure.
Whoever claims the plan is to completely end the violence there before leaving is simply wrong.
If the Iraqis can take care of there own mess, then why not let them do it?
