Blair against an arbitrary timetable for the withdrawal of British troops from Iraq
Prime Minister Tony Blair said Wednesday that it would be “extremely irresponsible” to set an arbitrary timetable for withdrawing British troops from Iraq.

Currently, Britain has deployed some 7,000 troops in southern Iraq. Since 2003, 128 British soldiers have been killed.
