Britain will announce next week that it is sending up to 3,000 more troops to Iraq in an attempt to restore order before next month's handover of power to an interim Iraqi government, The Times reported yesterday.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair will argue that the reinforcements are part of an exit strategy, which focuses on accelerating the training of Iraqi military to take over on June 30, the newspaper said.

"The force of Royal Marines and an armored infantry battle group will be sent to an area of volatile southern Iraq recently vacated by Spanish troops," it said.

What kind of British and/or American citizens are such dirty bastards that they don't care enough to find out the truth of what's going on and needlessly sending our children to die in Iraq for Republican Political/Corporate human feces?

6. It could be a line from Catch-22

"the reinforcements are part of an exit strategy"

Yes, in the sense that they are exiting from Britain.

8. Or from the Friday Follies: "We had to go there in order to leave there."

Zippo optional.

7. ARE THEY BRINGING THEIR TESTICLE CRUSHERS??

Or are they leaving them at home?

9. The Hondurans are leaving, the Ukrainians want to leave, ...

the Italians and the Polish are under pressure at home to leave, ...

But Tony presses on: are his new neocon friends promising him a rosy financial future is secure after he leaves #10?
