The British have emerged from their compound and are patrolling Basra again. Good for them. I wonder about the politics of this though. Gordon Brown has shown no enthusiasm for carrying through on the British commitment in Iraq, so why do this now? Is this a response to his drubbing at the polls by the Tories? Or is it just a result of the success of Iraq’s Basra operation?
