Leaked Ministry of Defence document tells of “prudent planning”

A memo attributed to British Defence Minister John Reid states that the UK is to reduce it's troops from 8,500 to 3,000 by this time next year.

The memo, printed in todays Daily Mail, also states that the US is to reduce it's occupation forces from 140,000 to 66,000 in the same period. Reid says in the memo that this is not as yet a definite plan but that it comprises “prudent planning”. While it is only one of the plans the UK have been working on over recent months it is however the only one they chose to leak, through one of it's mouthpieces, The Daily Mail, in the aftermath of the London Explosions. Standard behaviour to soften public opinion towards accepting a swift about-face manoever, such as the withdrawal of troops in the face of defeat and powerlessness as opposed to when they had installed a pro-British government, as they said they would.

The report goes on to point out the obvious, which is, that other nations such as Australia and Japan will not remain in Iraq when the main Criminal Armies run away. So, in effect this is a mooting of a full withdrawal of occupation forces from Iraq.

Following Fridays announcement by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi at Gleneagles that Italy is to withdraw it's troops from Iraq starting with 300 in September, one can hardly doubt the effect of the London Explosions on the foreign policy of the Criminal Nations of the Coalition.

The attack on London was not designed to change the “British way of life” as their media and brainwashing services “defiantly” claim. It was designed to it make painfully clear that occupation in Iraq and the killing of Innocent people in Iraq equals bombs and killing in the nations who carry out such despicable atrocities. This message now seems to have taken hold, i.e. following Bushs disasterous foreign policy is not a smart move for Blair or the British people.

It is hardly a new conclusion as many intelligence commentators before the illegal invasion predicted that this would be the result. Bin Laden himself said, “if they bomb us we will bomb them”. The only people who were saying they could control the situation were the same people who were saying there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the Intelligence Services. These clowns have now been exposed for what they are, an inept bunch of stalkers and telephone tappers with their own agenda to serve the political elite and corporate moguls regardless of the common good of the public.
