The tawdry articles are out in force with the dusted-down cliches by the hundreds. The threshold of 400 British military deaths is meaningless in itself. There will be more. And, worse, there will be much more civilian death and suffering. The presence of these soldiers and their comrades won't help any more that it has in the last 11 years. Their presence will never last until 2014 whatever new 'strategies' are trotted out for the media.
London was definitely paying attention to Washington's PR damage control - putting a British face on American soundbites.
