Will the British army be responsible for covering the inevitable eventual withdrawal of US troops? One retired British officer thinks so:
“We’ll be the last men out”, he said. “We hold the country that the Americans will have to pull out through; and it will be our job to cover their retreat.”
As convinced I am that it’s time for the US (and British) occupation of Iraq to end, the actual mechanics of a withdrawal are awful to contemplate.

Don’t worry; the withdrawal plans are in the appendix of the “Overthrow, Occupation and Pacification of Saddam’s Iraq” (OOPSI) — the prewar master planning document.
