UK may cut Iraq force in half by mid-2007: commander

Tue Aug 22, 2006 06:46 AM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain may cut its force in Iraq in half by the middle of next year after handing over security responsibility for the south to Iraqis within nine months, a senior British commander said on Tuesday.
Speaking to reporters on condition he not be identified, the commander said Britain would leave "quite a significantly smaller force than we've got now, but probably in the region of 3,000 to 4,000 people based in a single location."

Despite the worsening situation in Iraq, Britain apparently plans to cut it's forces in half relatively soon. Is this really a just a cut-and-run on Britain's part?

Yes, this is a cut-and-run by Britain
No, a troop drawdown as violence worsens makes sense
The U.K. is in it for the long haul.

COMMENTS:
Everyone, protestations notwithstanding, are looking to "cut and run" from a hopeless situation in Iraq. Even George Bush would love to find an exit strategy that does not look like retreat.

Amazing how the liberals loved Tony Blair when he supported President Clinton... and how they hate him when he supports Prseident Bush.
