Troop Withdrawal

There is little doubt in my mind that this administration has made up its mind to reduce troop levels in Iraq. Although it is long past due, this type of hypocrisy drives me crazy. Bush maintains that the decision will be "based on conditions on the ground," but conditions are not improving. Just admit you made a mistake and that it is time to bring US troops home.

The administration will bring the troops home and then declare victory, regardless of whether the civil war quiets down. I respect a man much more when he can admit and learn from his mistakes.
