    Default Redcoats stand firm

    If true a scandal and weakened IMO by the off-record media exposure.

    Politically the UK government would not return troops to street fighting in Basra, after all we wanted out from that hellhole; yes, one we helped make it that.

    How the UK government managed to hide the alleged agreement and related decisions from our closest ally is unclear.

    Murky. How this story resonates here is unclear, maybe I will comment another day.

    Here is the comment in The Daily Telegraph, with HMG and Opposition comments: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/news...-in-Basra.html
