Bush Troop Cuts Later Than Promised

When we first started deploying troops into Iraq, Bush said none of them would have to serve more than 12 months. It was a lie.

At the beginning of the surge, Bush said they would be able to start bring troops home by July of this year and none of the troops would be there more than 12 months. It was a lie.

Now;

From the NYTimes

Bush gave the clearest indication yet that conditions in Iraq would allow him to begin reducing the number of American troops there before he leaves office in less than six months.

The administration propelled those negotiations after Mr. Bush agreed to a “general time horizon,” which many Iraqis like to view as a timetable for withdrawing American and other foreign troops and turning over security to Iraqi forces.

Funny stuff. When Bush agrees to a time table, it’s a time horizon, and perfectly accesptable. When Obama talks about a timetable, it’s defeatist. Obama, the Prime Minister of Iraq, and Bush all agree that troops can be brought home over the next 2 years. McCain is the only one thinking that it’s impossible and that we may be there for 100 years.





Stumble it!
