MailOnSunday: "A secret paper written by Defence Secretary John Reid for Tony Blair reveals that many of the 8,500 British troops in Iraq are set to be brought home within three months, with most of the rest returning six months later."
DailyNews: "Leaders of the National Council of Churches and several member denominations marked July 4 with a petition stating vehement opposition to United States policy in Iraq.
The statement, sent to President Bush, charged, 'It has become clear that the rationale for invasion was at best a tragic mistake, at worst a clever deception'."
I have my doubts about this withdrawal of troops. It might be intended to take the wind out of the peace movement. Maybe there is no intention at all to withdraw the troops. And it will take a very clever solution to bring peace to the region now. One more reason never ever to engage in adventures like this.
