http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid= ... efer=ukAug. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Decisions about the number of British troops in Iraq won't depend on the U.S., Foreign Secretary David Miliband said. ``Our decision is about the situation in Basra, not the situation around Baghdad,'' Miliband told BBC Radio 4's Today program. ``I come back to the point of clear objectives, clear criteria for when they are met and clear command structures based on the assessment of the situation on the ground by the real experts.'' Decisions will be taken ``in the British national interest.''
