Iraq Withdrawal?

I thought media spin was dead and buried, well no it seems, a interesting article in the Sunday Times, word through back channels is that the new Prime Minister wants to get out of Iraq. The time when the Surge is having some effect and the new Prime Minister has read to much of the New York Times it seems, wants to get out faster than planned. It looks like Gordon Brown has allowed the need for distance from Tony Blair to sway his judgement when it comes to Iraq if the story has some legs. If Iraq falls it will make Afghanistan look like happy hour. As an old British Prime Minister said to an American President, " Don't Wobble " well the President needs to say to the new British Prime Minister a similar argument when it comes to Iraq.
