-----------------------------



The British military is reportedly set to withdraw all its troops from
Iraq. Citing military sources, several British newspapers say the
pullout will begin in March. US forces would take over British positions
in Basra. Britain currently has more than 4,000 troops in Iraq and plans
to leave 400 behind to train the Iraqi military.
