FTA:
Petraeus has previously been reluctant to say when his next assessment of troop levels would be. In a hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday, the four-star Army general said conditions on the ground will still determine whether more troops can come home.
But, he noted, "My sense is that I will be able to make a recommendation at that time for some further reductions.
Very Rovian strategy.. right before election, a politically unpopular war, start pulling them out, try to get McCain elected, and then send them right back to Iraq. AN IDIOT could see through this scheme.

  Let's see. Petraeus thinks he might be able to sway the elections in both nations by sending some American troops home.
  By delaying the vote in Iraq he is hoping to protect the Republican party from being embarrassed by the vote in in Iraq should it turn out badly in any way.
  Of course this is nothing new for the neocons. They think nothing of playing with other peoples lives in order to attain what they seek.
  We are here for their purpose, don't you know? Otherwise they don't need us. We just take up precious food and and other commodities.
  Sorry you are not feeling well. Feel better soon.

    Only an idiot could suggest the entire Iraq debacle is anything other than a Neocon plot.
    There were no weapons of mass destruction and we now know Bush knew that and directed his administration to spread deliberate lies to take us to war. Iraq posed NO threat to the USA.
    Aside from killing 4,000 plus Americans and who knows how many Iraqis, the war has made Americans LESS safe, not more safe.
    Invading Iraq pulled vital resources away from the real war in Afghanistan. The Taliban and al Qaeda Leaders were allowed to slip away and fully reconstitute their forces.
    Invading Iraq has vastly strengthened Iran's hand, and thereby their surrogates, Hamas and Hezbollah.
    Neocons simply don't care about reality or facts. They are so certain of the perfection of their ideology that the outcomes of their actions are completely irrelevant to them.
