Minister insists Britain did not ‘flee’ Basra as Al Qaeda No 2 celebrates

Minister insists Britain did not ‘flee’ Basra as Al Qaeda No 2 celebrates the Daily Mail: “Defence Minister Bob Ainsworth today insisted ‘We have not been forced to retreat’ from Basra after the Al Qaeda deputy celebrated the British decision ‘to flee’.”

Actually you did flee Iraq. When you announced you would pull out your troops because you thought Iraq was a lost cause you did exactly that. The only reason there is a chance of success in Iraq is because the US would not leave and allow the Islamics to take over Iraq. The British politicians were like all the liberals who just planned to cut and run.
