The British government sought today to defuse an embarrassing public debate over remarks by its top military commander that Britain should withdraw its troops from Iraq "sometime soon because our presence exacerbates the security problems." ...

Col. Tim Collins, who fought in Iraq in 2003 said the general’s comments had offered a "refreshing and very honest insight into what the Army generally feels."

"There comes a time when the realization on the ground is that the people of Iraq do resent foreign intervention and there comes a time when we have got to look forward to when we can hand it over to the Iraqis for them to sort out,"Colonel Collins said.
