Erm...no. A headline that says "British to Withdraw from Iraq" means that they've announced that that's what they are about to do, not that tw thinks it's "inevitable".

Facts don't "say" anything--are they talking to you? If you're hearing voices when examining facts, at best you're interpreting them. which wouldn't be "facts"; we call that "opinion"....a distinction I encourage you to work at making in the future. Worst case, you're halluicinating.

The facts in the case (as reported) are that a British officer made a public statement, a big splash of interpretation was made over it in the media, and now he's distancing himself from the interpretations.

None of which justifies your subject line.
