Armchair Strategy

Mindful of US unease over Basra, Des Browne, the Defence Secretary, will signal this week that there will be no withdrawal of UK troops from Iraq this spring. He will tell the Commons that "all options remain under review", but government sources said it was accepted within the military that any troop withdrawal at this time would be "presentationally unacceptable". (Telegraph 30 March)

Presentationally unacceptable.

Ohhh, armchair marketing strategy. Got it. Penny drops. Clunk.

Actual biffing taking second place. Does scratch the paintwork.
