In a move sure to upset their American friends HM Government, in the form of Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett, has said that it is likely the British troops will turn over control of the south of the country to the Iraqisby spring.
Just to make sure that she wasn't misinterpreted she specifically said that this was neither cutting and running or an announcement of a timetable for a withdrawal but rather were "just some words coming out of my mouth".
I wonder if she had a call from Jim Baker.
