The head of the British army says withdraw from Iraq

Wow.

The head of the Army is calling for British troops to withdraw from Iraq "soon" or risk catastophic consequences for both Iraq and British society.

In a devastating broadside at Tony Blair's foreign policy, General Sir Richard Dannatt stated explicitly that the continuing presence of British troops "exacerbates the security problems" in Iraq.

UPDATE: Supposedly he backed off his comments, although reading this article (2nd section,) the only "backing off" I see, is making it clear that he supports Blair.
