Newsbreak: UK sending HOME 3000 troops...
Chris Matthews said this news was just hitting the wires. UK sending home around 3000 UK troops starting now.

We are escalating the war, and the UK is doing the smart thing, and getting the fuck out.

2. Probably sending them to Afghanistan.
Or sending equivalent numbers that way while these particular ones go home and get their yearly quota of sanity.

3. Thats almost half of em.
Pressure from military chiefs for an early and significant cut in the 7,500 British troops in Iraq is also motivated by extreme pressure being placed on soldiers and those responsible for training them.

Hope he left plenty of fleas and perhaps some worms.
How about the timing? ROFL!!!
Just as Bush prepares to try to sell Americans
a burnt piece of the Brooklyn bridge.
BWAHAHAHA.

You KNOW that he would be the Primo of all primo targets.
