Brown to pull troops out of Iraq

GORDON Brown will remove all British forces from Iraq before the next election under a plan to rebuild support among disillusioned Labour voters.

Scotland on Sunday can reveal the Prime Minister elect is working on a withdrawal plan that could see troop numbers slashed from 7,000 to as few as 2,000 within 12 months.

If implemented, the strategy would culminate in total withdrawal no later than spring 2010, the date by which Brown must go to the country to seek his own mandate.

the whole point of the "insurgency" was to outlast the western presence

That’s a brilliant move Gordon Pelosi. Tell the insurgents how long they have to rest up and resupply. Idiot.

With Labour becoming like our Dims, Britain won't be "western" for too much longer. Dhimmitude does that.

No surprise. Brown worships the Kennedys, and counts Clintonista Robert Reich as a pal. Kerry’s a pal also.

Brown included Robert Kennedy in his book about 8 courageous people:

“According to the prime minister-to-be, Kennedy stood at the pinnacle of “morality,” a man “moved to anger and action mostly by injustice, by wasted lives and opportunity denied, by human suffering. [His were] the politics of moral uplift and exhortation.” Moreover, his “moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence.”

We didn’t get to elect Brown and he’ll be one of the shortest serving PM’s ever. . . .

I for one won’t miss the Brits. Good riddance.

Tell that to the 100 plus British soldiers that have died fighting at our side in Iraq.
