Gordon Brown to pull troops out of Iraq

It's actually forewaring of them being kept there longer than originally planned - not a withdrawl. (Cue the planned withdrawl spun as unexpected - well done Mr Brown etc).
 
Who's the boss?

Brown may well think he is pulling the troops out, but Washington begs to differ:
Brown won't pull UK troops out of Iraq: U.S. official

Two possiblities:

-Either Brown is bullshitting about pulling troops out before the next election (although he has nothing to gain, but everything to loose by saying he will do so, and then not doing it, at the election)

-Or Washington is sending off its first warnign shot to get the newboy in line.
