Crisis? What crisis indeed. I assume the only relief planned is a massive troop reduction in Iraq over the coming months. Glad I am not an Iraqi. In many ways the Forces were sold a pup when they were told that they would get that troop reduction. What amazes me is why the chiefs believe anything they are told by any Govt. Once you get rid of your troops you aint getting them back...My 6 year old daughter could probablywork out it is not a good idea to down size in time of war. Unbelievable.
