The British Speak While U.S. Republican Senators Go Mute: England To Withdraw Troops From Iraq

CNN has just reported that Prime Minister Tony Blair, often called George Bush's lap dog, has announced a sped-up timetable for withdrawing English troops from the abyss that Bush has made Iraq. British citizens have been screaming for an end to their participation in Iraq far longer than it has been popular here.

And with this announcement, can Blair's final days be long off? I doubt it.

Would that Bush's last days were less than the nearly 700 which remain.
