Reduce the number of troops in Iraq, withdraw them to an area of the country that is relative calm and U.S. forces would be relatively secure (The Krudish north seems to fit this bill) and keep a effective rapid response force there outside of Baghdad to hunt, fight and destroy Al Qaeda elements in that country.

“Backpedal?” Where did I do any backpedaling???? If this article is accurate, this is a huge win for Dubya and a big loss for Pelosi and Reid…

Because you did go to a lot of trouble to point out in an earlier post that a WaPo article stating that this is what the replacement bill would exclude was baseless partisan spin. Apologies ? Corrections ? A recount of Democrats who stated this wouldn't occur only weeks ago before changing their position now ? None of the above I take it.
