Pentagon: We may bring some troops home from Iraq IF THINGS GET BETTER



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Hello, rather large IF there, you think? What a ridiculous statement from the Pentagon, and it's even more ridiculous that the media would even cover such a ridiculous assertion. Of course things aren't getting better, so that caveat is meaningless - or, rather, it means everything. They won't decrease troops unless it's a Vietnam-style withdrawal without our tails between our legs because we lost and Bush screwed up.

I can see it now. Bush is going to start withdrawing troops next year because we lost and because his polls are heading so far south he doesn't have a choice. And he's just going to keep claiming, like he is now, that we're winning and that's why he can pull out. And in the meantime, Iraq will go to hell in a handbasket as every worst case nightmare in Iraq comes true.
