Tony Blair is pulling thousands of British Troops from Iraq

The British government has drawn up a secret plan to begin withdrawing 2,000 soldiers - a quarter of its total forces - from Iraq this spring. What happened to the mighty Coalition of the Willing? We had a real coalition during the Gulf War because there was a clear violation and the mission was clear. The Coalition of the Willing during the invasion of Iraq was just a handful of nations we have under our thumb or could pay off. As you can now see, we had no business going into Iraq to become bogged down in guerilla warfare. But we had to have our troops there to protect our new oil fields and pipe-line. We have to protect those record profits against terrorist and hurricanes.
