The British aredeclaring victory and pulling out.
The number of British troops serving in Iraq will be halved early next year after commanders on the ground yesterday claimed to have reached the “tipping point” in defeating insurgents in the southern city of Basra.
Senior Army officers said the number of British troops serving in Iraq would be reduced from 7,200 to 3,500 by February if the military campaign continued at its current rate of success.
