Britons Want UK Forces Out Of Iraq
(Reuters, 01 September 2003)
More than 60 percent of Britons believe their government should be withdrawing its troops from Iraq, an opinion poll shows. . . . Prime Minister Tony Blair's embattled government has been put under a harsh spotlight by a judicial inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the apparent suicide of Iraq weapons expert Dr David Kelly and public displeasure at the growing number of British servicemen killed in an unstable postwar Iraq. . . . Last week gunmen killed a British soldier in southern Iraq, bringing to 11 the number of British soldiers killed since May 1, when U.S. President George W. Bush declared that major combat in the U.S.-led war which ousted Saddam Hussein was over. . . . There was more bad news for Blair in the poll, which said the greatest number of respondents held him responsible for Kelly's death compared with other people or organisations mentioned in the press.
