God willing, if all goes well, UK troops will enjoy New Year at home
July 25, 2008
Prime Minister Gordon Brown indicated, as a result of improved security situation in the war-torn country, that British troops in Iraq might be withdrawn as early as next year
Brown, who was recently on a one day visit to Iraq, said, “Iraqi forces would soon take over the Basra airport, the main British military headquarters.”
According to Gordon’s plans, training and strengthening the Iraqi troops, will go a long way in achieving ultimate withdrawal of British forces. As per the promise made by Gordon Brown in last October, that by spring, troops will be cut down to 2500. About 4100 troops were stationed at Basra airport.
As per the report in The Observer, Brown however, made it clear that he would not “set any artificial timetable.” Surely not only the family of the troops but also all the British people will pray for early return of the troops, perhaps before the year end.
