Are British Emboldening the Enemy with Iraq Draw Down

Should it be considered emboldening the enemy if the British have a timetable for removing troops from Iraq:

British Prime Minister Tony Blair will on Wednesday announce a timetable for the withdrawal of British troops from Iraq just as thousands of additional U.S. troops are arriving there to try to restore order in Baghdad.

Does Cheney consider the British timetable a betrayal:

Cheney, on a visit to Japan, said Washington would not back "a policy of retreat" despite growing calls at home for a pullout from Iraq, where more than 3,000 U.S. and over 100 British soldiers have been killed.

"We know that if we leave Iraq before the mission is completed, the enemy is going to come after us. And I want you to know that the American people will not support a policy of retreat," Cheney said.

Doesn't sound promising. This clown is still talking about victory:

"We want to complete the mission, and we want to get it done right, and we want to return with honor," Cheney told cheering US troops on the hangar deck of the USS Kitty Hawk docked south of Tokyo.

"We'll be flexible. We'll do all we can to adapt to conditions on the ground. We'll make every change necessary to do the job. And I want you to know that the American people will not support a policy of retreat," he said.

He and his boss don't give a damn what the American people think.

Cheney is in Japan but don't expect him to meet with the foreign minister:

Cheney is not scheduled to meet Japanese Defence Minister Fumio Kyuma, who caused a stir in January when he said US President George W. Bush was "wrong" to invade Iraq.

You're running out of friends, dude.
