The news stated that they are pulling out about 1600 troops in the next few months. The troops are in a somewhat stable area in Southern Iraq and they are just a tiny portion of all the troops on the ground in Iraq so my question is how much will they really be missed? These guys aren't the ones kicking in doors in Falujah and such sooo....I think it's more of a politcal statement by Blair to keep the hounds at bay than anything else.
