Yes, you're quite right. British troops are destined for peace-keeping duties in and around Basra (strictly *around* I would suggest!) (I don't think they'll dare step inside.). Besides, British troops don't want to be anywhere near American troops with loaded guns this time. In Gulf War I our biggest batch of fatalities was when the Americans shot us up by mistake!
