The British Are Leaving, The British Are Leaving!

Yes, the British are leaving.

A sure sign the President's Iraq debacle has completely fallen apart, our greatest allies in the war, Britain, has decided to stop chasing Bush's castle in the sky.

Denmark is also on their way out. Lithuania too. The "Coalition of the Willing" is suddenly becoming not so willing to follow Bush anymore.

Who's left? South Korea has the third largest number of troops in Iraq, but they plan on cutting their force in half this year, then Poland, Georgia, and Australia, who all have under 1,000. Romania and Bulgaria still has a bunch of troops lying around somewhere too. Other than that, it's pretty much the Americans here on out.

In hindsight, even the most hardcore Bush supporters I speak to now say this whole thing was a mistake. They've been admitting it for a while, but defend the war with such arguments as "Well, we're there now, so we have to win" or "We can't go Monday morning quarterbacking"

This is true. However, we are in a war where the "mission" or what defines "victory" keeps changing constantly. First it was the get rid of WMD's...Finished, never found. Then to rid the country of Saddam Hussein's brutal regime...check. Then it was to set up a foundation for a new Iraqi government...check. Now what? The British and the Danish finally came to their senses...the war is over, we did what we could, we've been success full, now it's up to the Iraqis.

And you can't argue the British are surrender monkeys...it takes a lot to break the British, just ask Hitler.
