Military proposes Iraq Troop Withdrawl - While GOP Stays the Course

Was hidden by White House at a time when Democrats were pushing withdrawl proposals.

Bush setting up Iraq as a campaign stump for Repukes to use as a mid-term election warm fuzzy.

SNIP:

Now, after criticizing Democratic lawmakers for trying to legislate a timeline for withdrawing troops, skeptics say, the Bush administration seems to have its own private schedule, albeit one that can be adjusted as events unfold.

If executed, the plan could have considerable political significance. The first reductions would take place before this falls Congressional elections, while even bigger cuts might come before the 2008 presidential election.

3. Not till the last drops of oil and blood are shed.

Then they won't give a flying fuck about Iraq.
