Goodbye Britain

As I write this, the conservative challenger to the Labour Party, David Cameron, is grilling Tony Blair in Parliament on Britian's involvement in Iraq. He argues that the British government should decide whether or not to keep British forces in Iraq "according to British national interest," without undue regard for the United States.

A recent report by the British military has set a timetable for a withdrawal of British forces by spring.

As far as I can tell, politicians in Britain are abandoning Iraq wholesale. Say goodbye to our most important ally in Iraq.
