British Troops May Leave Iraq by 2006

LONDON (Nov. 14) - Some British forces might be withdrawn from Iraq next year, if Iraqi forces are ready to take over security responsibilities, Prime Minister Tony Blair said Monday.

"I think it's entirely reasonable to talk about the possibility of withdrawal of troops next year but it's got to be always conditioned by the fact that we withdraw when the job is done," Blair said at a news conference with Iraqi Vice President Abel Abdul Mahdi.

"We don't want British forces forever in Iraq. Within one year - I think at the end of 2006 - Iraqi troops will be ready to replace British forces in the south," Talabani said.
