UK hands Basra over to Iranian Mullahs...

The remarkable impotence that defines the US-UK axes in Iraq entered a new phase, we might add, on the same day that Bush, Gates and Rice- pretty much the only people in favor of US troops deployment left in the US- were visiting Iraq.

The British handed over the administration and governance of southern Iraq to the mullahs' goons in Basra. Gordon Brown- the clueless British PM- called it not a "defeat" (BBC, September 3, 2007). He said that the withdrawl was ""pre-planned and organised". We ask if the Iranian mullahs had done the planning and arranged for the organization of this defeat! He went further to say that the handover of the Basra province- that is the rest of Southern Iraq- to the Iranian mullahs and their henchmen was not scheduled for this fall.

We live and learn!
