Is it real?
The British Times has a story indirectly suggesting that Tony Blair is trying to get British troops out of Iraq before the US launches an attack on Iran.
But probably the most interesting bit is the layout of the sides, pro and con, for attacking Iran. On one side Bob Gates, Condi Rice and Stephen Hadley. On the other side, Cheney.
(Or, is this story/leak an elaborate message to Iran who refused to stop enrichment today? Even the British are afraid, so....)

... just wondering. What is Bush knew Tony was gonna pull out, and this "surge" is just an excuse to fill the vacuum after the Brits are gone? He won't recall them after the mission is "done", since they're gone and someone has to do the job. Maybe... Like someone once said, in politics, everything happens for a reason.

That's a really good thought.
The question is could Bush quietly move troops down to Basra after an "incident." Or would he be willing to take the heat for such a move?
Maybe. But I would wonder if the Bush plan was to leave the Shia militia breeding grounds unguarded so, wait to see if the US steps in down there.
I haven't seen anything on how early the Brits notified. It is remarkable that it timed out to the Iranian deadline.
