Well I stand corrected. Boo me for taking the bait, boo congress for setting it ( the date). Since it's a personal issue, being an eyewitness survivor -I defend my right to vent and foam. “Congress (which, if you didn’t know, is controlled by the Democrats) set 9/11 as the day, not Bush.”

‘Surge’ to recede in April

WASHINGTON — The U.S. military plans to end the troop surge in Iraq by the spring of 2008.
Officials said U.S. military commander in Iraq Gen. David Petraeus has been drafting a plan that envisions the end of the troop surge in Iraq around April 2008. They said the end of the operation would reduce the U.S. military presence from the current 162,000 to about 130,000.

“The surge we know, as it is today, goes through April of ’08,” Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno, the No. 2 commander in Iraq, said. “We believe at sometime around that time, we will begin to reduce our forces down to pre-surge levels, and we are building our plans accordingly.”

For that matter, Entropy went through the brigade math here several days ago as well and came to the same conclusion.

This smacks of "Remember the Maine " wag the dogism over and over and over. Our government , collectively, needs a reboot. A complete wipe and reinstall. but that will never happen, so we are well and truly f**ked.
