Iraq War: An Unflattering Headline

The Daily Mirror, a British tabloid that editorially is Labour Party-oriented but highly critical of the Iraq War, ran this story about Bush's latest plan for a quicker exit for Iraq - Iraqization, the Afghanistan model, whatever label winds up on it.

BUSH: WE'RE OUTTA HERE

PRESIDENT Bush last night ordered an early American exit from Iraq after a suicide bomber killed 27 people.

He did a U-turn after crisis talks with Iraq's American governor Paul Bremer.

Reports said Bush had "directed" Bremer to "speed the transfer of authority to the Iraqi
people".

The US recently rejected a similar proposal by France and Germany.

Neither that nor the rest of the article quite fits with the headline. But I don't think they were trying to be flattering.
