"Petraeus has talked of 30,000-troop cut; Bush hasn't specified a number"
"Bush ordered nearly 30,000 additional troops to Iraq in January -- a move known as "the surge" -- in an effort to pacify Baghdad and its surrounding provinces amid rampant sectarian and insurgent warfare.
Petraeus told Congress this week that the first of those units could be sent home in late September, with the rest returning home by mid-July 2008."
wow...bushy continues his shell game.
wasnt the 36k troops surge (which was supposed to be ~20k) suppose to last only a couple of months?
now our fateless leader is announcing a troop reduction next year of the troops that were suppose to have been sent home last month.
geez.. no wonder the public only gives him a 9% approval rating on leading us out of the IRAQ war.
