By October? No, NOW!

"Withdrawal from Iraq by October" will not do, Sir Menzies. There is no identifiable "job" to "finish" either there or in Afghanistan. Our forces in those countries should either be withdrawn immediately and unconditionally, or else their Commanding Officers should simply order their withdrawal, and let Tony Blair, whose position would thus become untenable, find out from the television like everybody else.

Apparently, Blair is going to Washington in the autumn, once he has retired, to collect his Congression Medal. Well, that gives us ample time, in view of the changed composition of Congress since that Medal was awarded, to campaign for its rescindment.
