LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Tony Blair looked set on Wednesday to outline a timetable for British troops to start withdrawing from Iraq, with media reports saying 3,000 soldiers could be home by the end of the year.

Blair will tell parliament the gradual draw down comes as Iraqi forces take over more control of security in the south of the country, according to British newspapers and news channels.

A spokesman at the prime minister's Downing Street office declined to comment on the reports, but said parliament would be updated first on any announcement about Iraq.

I know its frying pan to fire but I think Afghanistan is a more just project than Iraq where Bush and Blair put our guys and girls in harms way over WMD that does not exist.
