...and that they have a goal of getting that down to 50,000 troops by September 1st.

Stay tuned for when the story changes again in ten minutes.

I am so glad that Obama is staying quiet tonight.

5. Gotta have 'em over there to guard the oil- and ensure it flows to America

That's the bottom line- though don't expect any acknowledgment from the administration or its followers over that.

7. The story has not changed. 50,000 troops left by end of August.

The other 6,000 will leave by 8/31.

End of August has always been the deadline.
