Under-reporting of British casualties in Iraq: Analysis published in the Lancet
The highly renowned medical research journal, The Lancet, has published an analysis of government under-reporting of British casualties in the Iraq war. The research, conducted by a Professor Sheila Bird of the MRC Biostatistics Unit at Cambridge, illustrates that casualty figures are almost certain to be much higher than stated by John Reid, the Minister of Defence, and argues that the failure to properly count UK military casualties in Iraq must end.

The process will involve a four-stage disengagement that is scheduled to begin this spring, or at the latest by the end of the summer"
Stage 1 - Massacre one more city just for the hell of it
Stage 2 - Blow up a few mosques, assasinate the peace makers
Stage 3 - Try and blame Iran while shouting Civil War !
Stage 4 - Get the fuck out of Dodge, prepare for the next oil grab
I think the real import of the Telegraph report is that they are claiming to be staying for 2 1/2 years. I doubt they'll make it that long.
