5,000, are you sure about your figures, or is this total number of troops. I find it very hard to believe its Infantry.
And as i understand it, the original plan was to pull half the troops out of Iraq and send then to Afghanistan. But now this has been cancelled they have to send in others.
Gonna leave things a bit tight for a while, what with this, the extra 1,500 going to Iraq and the possuible trouble in Ulster starting off again.
AS a man from "Ulster" the violence at the weekend was the usual trouble surrounding parades of that type (by this i mean political/religous) no fears there then.
