Anyone taking bets that Bush is telling Blair to NOT withdraw from ME?
Edited on Thu Jul-21-05 08:12 AM by CanuckAmok
You know after a second round of attacks, "minor" or otherwise, shaky public support of UK troops in Iraq and Afghanistan is going to plummit even lower than it has been since the get-go.

Blair will be pressured to examine options for troop withdrawl, and if he does, the attacks will stop, and his approval rating will soar.

Bush won't want to have an "ally" (read: lapdog) nation set this dangerous prescedent... how many of you want to wager Bush is on the phone right now, saying "you will not withdraw from Iraq, or else..."?

1. Its ALWAYS been low in Britain
I have friends over there and I've visited the country since the war in Iraq began. The county is not divided. Most don't support the war.
