Blair announces withdrawal of 1,600 troops from Iran in the 'coming months':

Britain will withdraw around 1,600 troops from Iraq over the "coming months" and aims to cut its 7,100-strong force to below 5,000 by late summer if local forces can secure the southern part of the country, Prime Minister Tony Blair said Wednesday.

Is the time right to pull troops out from Iraq? Is it too soon? Should it have been done sooner? What was your reaction to the news of this troop withdrawal?
