British Set to Leave Iraq, "Coalition of the Willing" Ends

First the Aussies, now the Brits. Suddenly the US has no major "international forces" but its own to occupy Iraq. This is a rebuke to the Blair-Bush alliance, and the liberal (neo-conned) Labor Party in the UK has suffered for the Iraq scheme (note this you cowardly Democrats, increasing the conservative Tories' power) which the people know was built on lies and 9/11 propaganda for a "war on terrorism".

This puts all eyes and pressure on the US whose "international coalition of the willing" has fallen apart, and will not be revived again (i.e. for engaging Iran, Syria, etc.) too easily.

It is not the "anti-war" movement that has done this, but the growing "anti-unjust war" movement, made up of people from any and all parties in a "coalition of the unwilling" which have hounded UK and US governments to cease this insane and anti-Christian "preventive war" policy contrary to the principles of anti-aggression and the "humble foreign policy" Bush campaigned on in 2000, in these words:

“Our nation stands alone right now in the world in terms of power. And that’s why we’ve got to be humble and yet project strength in a way that promotes freedom… If we’re an arrogant nation, they’ll view us that way, but if we’re a humble nation, they’ll respect us.”
-- candidate George W. Bush


All British forces to be pulled out of Iraq within a year

All British forces are set to be pulled out of Iraq within a year, it emerged today.

Plans for a phased withdrawal are back on track after a reduction in violence in Basra over recent months.

Whitehall officials are now working on a new timetable for the move.

The pull-out of the remaining 4,000 troops serving in Iraq is sure to be seized on by Labour Ministers as proof that a line has finally been drawn under Tony Blair's biggest foreign policy disaster.

The withdrawal is expected to be announced by the end of this year if the security situation remains positive - with the actual operation taking place sometime next spring.

MP Claims British WMD Iraq Inspector Murdered, Not Suicide

The British MP's book "The Strange Death of Dr. Kelly" claims their was foul play in the suicide, that he was in fact murdered.

Of course the Downing Street Memos prove that the "intelligence was fixed around the policy" to go to war, by the U.S. neoconservatives and Cheney, in league with Tony Blair, which "justified" the (already planned policy by the neoconservatives) invasion of Iraq. WMD were never found of course because the claim was a blatant lie. (See previous articles and video below).

After BBC reported the intelligence about WMD had been "sexed-up" (exaggerated and fraudulent propaganda) Dr. Kelly was found dead in the woods, reportedly "suicide". Immediately the coincidence was considered suspicious by many. While critics of course call it a "conspiracy theory" (many murders and crimes are in fact conspiracies, just ask the police) the story also says this:

He said it was virtually impossible to kill yourself in the manner Kelly had, by cutting his ulnar artery, there was a lack of blood at the scene, and no fingerprints were found on the knife used.

Kelly had also booked a flight to Iraq for the following week, his wife was unwell, his daughter was shortly to be married and he left no suicide note, all factors that appeared to contradict the official verdict, Baker argues.

MP says Kelly's 2003 death not suicide

LONDON (Reuters) - A former U.N. weapons inspector, whose death caused one of the biggest crises of Tony Blair's premiership, did not commit suicide as official accounts state, an MP claims in a new book.

David Kelly was found dead in woods near his home in July 2003, just days after it was revealed that he was the source for a BBC report that said Blair's government had deliberately "sexed-up" intelligence to justify the invasion of Iraq.

However, Norman Baker, a Liberal Democrat MP who has spent a year investigating the case for his book "The Strange death of David Kelly", says he believes the scientist did not kill himself.

"The key question is whether the actions of the Iraqi group were self-generated, and subsequently covered up by the government, or whether a tiny cabal within the British establishment commissioned the assassins to undertake this," he wrote in the book.
