#1 the brit forces, especially the point of the spear, when given the weapons and support they need by the gov't, seem willing to shoulder their part of the burden. I don't like hearing the "all Brits are pussies" even more than "all Muzzies are terrorists". Both make little sense, and reflect badly on the utterer

#2 Maybe if they'd been allowed to fire on Basra a year ago, we wouldn't have the problem there we have now....

#3 likely Barb, although this seems strategically timed. Whether the Brits were tougher or not in th elast year may not have played a difference. Seems like the Iraqi elections coming up and early turf/image seeking might be more in play
