There are currently 169,000 American troops in Iraq. Using CNN's Jaimie McIntyre's figure of 21,500 troops returning home that would leave 147,500 troops in Iraq. That's a long way from 130,000.

Who wants to bet that come July or so suddenly Bush decides the GAO was right and we're not "in a position" to send any troops home. I can see his smarmy assed face now, "we always said that any redeployment of troops would be based on a certain measure of progress. Well we've had several setbacks since then and I'm sorry to anounce that tours will be extended indefinitely. There were never any guarantees, as I stated before...it's based on success. I don't know what Congress is being so political over this but we've got to fight them there..." Don’t forget that this “reward for success” strategy is based on us achieving all of our goals.

I guess the Iraq people don't know what's happening in their country only Bush knows. About 70% of Iraqis believe security has deteriorated in the area covered by the US military "surge" of the past six months, an opinion poll suggests. Don't look for any of Bush's plans to be completed as the US will be kicked out of Iraq when Iran/Syria/Turkey join together and work with PM Maliki. As the US media reports the lies told by the White House the foreign press is giving the fair/balance/truth of what's really going on. The Middle East leaders are wise to the idiot President Bush and they will have the last laugh. Look for this nightmare to continue as the Bush Administration will be brought up on crimes by the United Nations. Here’s a report from the foreign press.
