Rightwing US bloggers might feel that the Thank You Tony website suddenly looks a little outmoded.

Some are already calling Tony Blair a "flip flopper" - a weighty insult indeed in US politics, just ask John Kerry - as reaction builds to reports that the PM is to announce details of a British military pullout from Iraq.

The Drudge Report is leading on the story and has "British endgame" in big letters next to a kind of Apocalypse Now photograph of a sunset and helicopters.
