I mean, I totally understand given what a sh*thole the country has become and how badly Bush has f*cked things up. I can completely sympathize and it's their right as a country to withdraw.
But from an American point of view and from the point of view of Iraqi security it really is bad when we're losing all of our troops and allies in Iraq. We'll be the only ones doing any of the fighting and it will drain us even more.
As to your basic question, May or June next year. He'll probably win again b/c the Conservatives are completely dysfunctional and not trusted by voters. Plus for the most part they supported the Iraq War and haven't developed a coherent critique. The UK third party, the Liberal Democrats, might make big gains, so the best solution from a progressive standpoint would be if they fought to a hung parliament and were able to negotiate a coalition govt. with Labor that was dependent on Blair not being PM.
