Beginning of the end for UK troops in Iraq?

This predictable story did not take very long. Three Black Watch troops, the ones who Tony "bootlicker" Blair recently moved in to help out his old pal George, were killed today in Iraq. So far the Brits have been operating in a relatively peaceful part of Iraq and their casualties have been low but this latest move could open up the valve for UK casualties. With the earlier story about the Coalition of the Going unraveling, another day or two like this and we're going to see a lot of pressure in the UK to join that group as well.
