I've read the speculation about the planned troop increase that Obama is supposedly going to propose, but who knows who is telling that an increase is going to happen on the order of 20-80,000 more troops in Afghanistan.

All we have in a few sentences of typical boilerplate is more Brown confusion and tetchiness from the near-rebellious chiefs of staff. Of course we know British nerves are stretched, waiting...

Strong feelings were expressed, and questions asked, at Remembrance this year. I was at St Paul’s Bledlow Ridge , a lovingly looked after village church which is (wonderfully) kept open in the day.
