A1 - It's big here, but not there. Think about it mate...

The british government is pulling out the troops. That is big. Why? Because the government is being run by the former 'insurgents'.

You think the American government wants that on the news? After 38 years of war, the brits pull out and leave the government over to the very people they were fighting?

It's what happened in Vietnam, it's what happened in N. Ireland, and it's what will happen in Iraq. The very people the US/UK forces are fighting now will one day be running the show there, on their own terms.

It's best not to inform the average American of this, else they really will lose hope in their own current war.
