A Ludicrous Attempt at Spin by the White House

Politics – After laboring so hard to bring some realism to its pronouncements on Iraq, the White House took a big PR hit as its attempt to spin the British withdrawal as a sign of success was widely greeted with howls of derision. Unlike some of the White House's past assertions -- that were simply negated by the facts -- this one was affirmatively laughable.

No, really, it's a success for Britain anyway ... as they will move their troops out of harm's way.

P M Blair reported in 06 that the British would begin withdrawing their troops in 07, concluding in December 08. I have to wonder if people just don't read the paper, or cannot recall day before yesterday. I don't need the W H to spin anything. I read many papers, the Internet, and watch Fox News.
