BREAKING: Brits Backing Out?
I don't see how Tony can make it if he doesn't - everyone will applaud if he backs out now.
Brits Backing Out?
March 11, 2003
(CBS) Sources tell CBS News that Great Britain – America's closest ally – may find it politically impossible to commit its military to a U.S.-led attack on Saddam Hussein. And that could force the United States to go it alone in Iraq.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld hinted as much Tuesday.
"To the extent that they are able to participate that would obviously be welcomed. To the extent they are not, well, there are workarounds," Rumsfeld said.
War in Iraq is now supported by fewer than 20 percent of Britons, and Prime Minister Tony Blair has told Washington he needs U.N. authorization, reports CBS News Correspondent Bill Plante.
