How stupid does David Miliband think we are?
Yesterday at Labour's annual conference in Bournemouth, the foreign secretary David Miliband talked about winning the peace in Iraq. Did I miss something, because I don’t recall seeing an end to the war.
Just because the people killing our troops and innocent Iraqi civilians no longer wear uniforms doesn’t stop it being a war.
We sent our boys into Iraq masked by a smoke screen of half truths, erroneous assumptions and spin... why would we expect the way we withdraw them be any different?

When we withdraw, will we be leaving things better than when we found them in Iraq? I wonder how many returning troops would like to tell Gordon Brown to stick his 25% council tax discount somewhere dark and warm and instead be told the real reason they had to watch friends and comrades die.
