#1 due to the lack of a realistic strategy

Yea, but the only realistic strategy is fumigating the place (along with the rest of Dar).

#3 2009 British exit strategy.

That's how I read it. Gordo has to bring the troops home to get his own Labour base back behind him, and do it soon to have a chance in the upcoming general election.

#4 Gordo has no chance at all. The only thing in Labours favour is "Dave" Cameron, who runs Blu-Labour.

#5 I remember the British saying that the Yank strategy in Iraq was all messed up, then it turned out that the British strategy wasn't really all that great and the Yanks adapted. Not saying the Yank strategy is right in this case but nit-picking other strategies is foolish.

#6 And the British and Harold Wilson strategy in Southern Africa, how would that be coming along of late?
