Now, as a conservative (small c) Brit, I’m not Brown’s greatest fan; but the thread above this one on FR is about how he has ruled out a timetable for a withdrawal from Iraq and all the signs both now and in the past, are that British troops are there for as long as you are. The Iraq thing is very unpopular with his party and outside it BTW.
So, for a bit of balance, actions speaking louder than words anyone?
If you can’t name the enemy and ask others not to identify them then I’m not sure you can defeat them.
