Prince Harry

Today, Prince Harry was offically ordered to report to Iraq in the coming days. Yesterday, British PM Tony Blair announced before the House of Commons that England will begin withdrawing their troops from the southern region of Iraq. Securing Basrah was one of the few positives of this war and the announcement of Britian's pullout will surely influence more European counties to follow suit. By withdrawing and not redeploying troops to areas such as Bagdad and out of control An Anbar provience shows the loss of political capital of PM Tony Blair who leaves office in the coming months. From the outset, Britain public opinion was against the Iraq war. Signifying a turning point in the conflict, the British pullout is a mere sign of things to come as Iraq continues to appear on the brink of civil war.
