BLAIR & THE GENERALS: ENDGAME

General Sir Michael Rose ex-UN commander in Bosnia favors impeachment of the British PM Tony Blair saying, "To go to war on what turns out to be false grounds is something that no one should be allowed to walk away from."-- If being held accountable for one's actions is half as difficult in England as it is in the US, PM Tony 'Yo' Blair will walk-- There is less than little interest if any in the west to confront or acknowledge the war crimes of its leaders and moreover much less to actually bring them to trial especially so since the theatre of operations where these crimes find such bitter and malevolent response still finds itself embroiled in flames and the outcome seriously in doubt--

General Sir Richard Dannatt , an active duty high official has leveled serious concerns about the Army's predicament in Iraq-- Worried about the unrelenting danger to and the demoralization of his troops and what the future effects this bitterly contested deployment will have on the strained army itself Dannatt iterated the Brits should leave Iraq soon-- Uninvited in the first place Dannatt recognizes publicly “we kicked the door in” and as such the British presence“ exacerbates the security problem” and has overstayed its fictional welcome-- The General admits the British are no longer policing Iraq if they ever were, but mostly guarding bases only occasionally risking patrols that provide high-profile sitting duck target practice for mujahideen snipers. Obviously the General refuses to dispute the obvious and for that has reaped condemnation from ministerial higher-ups in the royal government who sprang instantaneously into a jumbo cluster of magisterial spin and damage control--

The authority of Tony Blair was portrayed notably as 'battered' by the active-duty General's unprecedented comments which also set off the spin alarms in DC's denial battered State and Defense Departments-- Tony Snow Bush's press secretary spun the teapot's tempest as if no rift at all had taken place and that the allies are all still on the same page but DC's nerves were most likely frayed by this and their sleep made fitful-- This US spin certainly stood in sharp contrast to the Army(British)'s unofficial weblog which rocked with support from hundreds of multi-ranked soldier blogs hailing the General's salty dust-up with the Home Government as stand-up Truth-telling-- But the man whose authority really battered the skids belongs to fictional Iraqi government's 'leader' Mr. Malicki who was vehemently reassured in a telephone call initiated by Bush that he wasn't on the verge of being abandoned or being subjected to the potential Senatorial timelines bandied about DC this week by John Warner and Chuck Hagel-- Nevermind that Green Zone employees native to Iraq still inquire about potential US evacuation plans and whether that might include them the Iraqis-- Remember when South Vietnam's President Thieu was so reassured by President Nixon's US support he decided to leave the country so overloaded with his country's gold reserves his escape plane failed liftoff on the night darkened runway--

Maj Gen Richard Shirreff, the British officer commanding Multi National Division South East, has denied any talk of imminent end game preparations and that the stiff upper lipped Brits will stay the course "until our major coalition partner, our principal ally, the Americans, declare game over in the centre in Baghdad" but some plans for redeployment of the British forces to the airport and away from their current cities which their presence has 'exacerbated' into hotspots are making the rounds of the rumormills and most input from the soldier blogs indicate the troops are certainly ready for that end game so many are aware of but so few, except of course those violent insurgents demanding their vote be counted, will confirm-- Say your prayers, Mr. Blair--
