British military was beaten in Basra, according to UK Government report.

Britain's Defence Committee said that in 2003 the plan was to secure Basra and hold the city under British control. But this was defeated by the Mehdi Army.

British forces failed to take Basra from the Mahdi Army led by the firebrand Shia rebel Moktada al Sadr.

We lost Iraq. We were unable to secure Basra in southern Iraq, said the British government report on 3 December 2007.

British forces came under direct heavy fire from the Mehdi militas in September 2005. Some of the Sadr's supporters were illegally arrested by British soldiers. Locals became angry with the British soldiers. This led to breakdown of relationship between British forces and Sadr, the rebel leader of Mahdi Army. This cutting of ties led to violent engagement.

Within 9 months, Britain military commanders had begun pleading with Prime Minister Tony Blair to get them out of Basra.

On 3 September 2007, after two years of heavy clashes, Sadr allowed the besieged British forces to retreat from Basra. He ordered his fighters "not to fire on the retreating British soldiers". British press covered the withdrawal from Basra, discribing "the cut and run" as a "humilating moment" in British military history.

US policies are trying to create "worst of all possible worlds", said the top Church leader.

Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams did not mince his words when he condemned the United States.

Dr Williams launched a stinging attack on United States for creating trouble around the world.

Leader of the Anglican Church described American policy as "violent".

Iraq was a complete failure for America because US leadership acts like a trigger happy cowboy assuming that a quick burst of violent action will achive its goals, said the Archbishop.

Dr Williams said "US policy is not working". We see it failing everywhere. America only "tries to influence and control other people". It wants to be the only "global hegemonic power".

Archbishop said "US had lost all moral high ground" since 2001.

US is decaying morally. Modern life in the west is destroying humanity of the people. There is something about "Western way which really does eat away at the soul", said the leader of the British Christians.

Iraqi rebel leader Moktada Sadr has called President Bush "pure evil".

Sadr blasted the American President for continuing to occupy Iraq and loot Iraqi oil.

Iraqi Shia rebel strongly condemned United States for causing suffering to the Iraqi people.

Son of an Ayatollah, Sadr is the third most powerful man in Iraq and hold the future of the country in his hands. He has vowed to expel American forces from Iraq.

Sadr described President Bush as "master of pure evil."

President of the United States has in the past been called many things by various world leaders: "The Devil", "World's Number One Terrorist", "Warmonger", and "Satan" among other things.

While the rest of Middle East leaders were holding the Annapolis summit in Maryland, the second most powerful man in Iraq was meeting the American President in the White House.

Abdul Aziz al Hakim, refused to meet any of the summit participants. He was in the United States for his own purpose.

President Bush met Mr Hakim, the leader of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, (SCIRI), in the Oval Office of the White House on Tuesday 27 November 2007.

Hakim has very close ties with Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Mr Hakim was in the White House exactly a year ago in December 2006. Then he was telling President Bush how to secure Iraq. previous year has been one of the worst year for US military in Iraq.

This latest visit to the White House by the Shia Cleric is to discuss the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq in 2008.

Mr Hakim also talked with Mr Bush about future of US-Iraq relationship.

Hezbollah managed to place a spy right at the heart of the US intelligence community.

Nada Prouty, 37, a US citizen, was recruited by both CIA and the FBI.

She became a Special Agent for the FBI in 1999.

Prouty joined the CIA in 2003.

As a US Federal Agent, Miss Prouty accessed FBI and CIA computers gaining vital information which she passed to Hezbollah organisation in Lebanon.

It is thought that Miss Prouty as a CIA officer is likely to face one year in jail. CIA are refusing to release too much information about their own former agent.

Experts are amazed at such a level incompetence by the intelligence services. Story Nada Prouty is indeed hard to beat.
