While the US surge is barely holding its own in the pandemonium called post Saddam Hussein Iraq, Great Britain has decided or maybe can't stop itself from a troop withdrawal. British military commander Squirtz Toosoon explained that when a force shoots its wad before the appropriate time, the only thing to do is clean up and go on home.
PM Brown told doubtful British armed forces supporters that they should just trust him: "Mr Major and I have had many experiences with coitus interruptus and we think it wise that all of the citizenry of the UK should trust our judgement in these matters. Staying too long after such an eruption would only be an embarrassment, believe you me!"
