JB, ignoring MT69s wonderfully informative comments, this surely signals Blair and Bushs intent more fully than the americans deployment. Although they have commited up to 125,000 troops as the article says this is 1/4 of our army which signifies something will happen in the arena of operations out there. Posting just over a quarter of your army is much much more than a diplomatic statement.

MT69 please forgive if I have once again mistaken one of your wonderfully informed comments for sarcasm
