    Some articles from the Daily Telegraph. Just so you know, the Telegraph is nicknamed the 'Torygraph' over here, which should show you which slant it tends to give stories.

    They offer an interesting view of the Iraq war from the perspective of a British SAS trooper working alongside the Americans in Baghdad

    The contents of the articles are not particularly pro-American, but that does not make this topic an excuse to simply bash America.

    He also had this to say:

    Yet he claims to have no political agenda in other interviews.

    I say fine. All those who share his opinion should withdraw. If the majority of Brits share his opinion then all British forces should withdraw. They aren't exactly performing a vital function anyway and if you don't belive in a cause then you should not fight for it.
