Miliband paves way for Basra exit -"Troops withdrawal Basra determined by British interests, not President Bush" - by Gerri Peev
The exit date for British troops would be determined by national interests and not by the US president, George Bush, David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary has said as he hit back at American criticism of UK operations in Basra. "Our decisions about Basra are about the situation on the ground in Basra, not the situation on the ground in Baghdad."
The al-Mahdi army, the source of much of the inter-Shia tension in the south, has agreed to give British troops safe passage as they depart.
