The nonpartisan Iraq Study Group will recommend a "gradual but meaningful" reduction of U.S. troops begin "relatively early in the new year," a source familiar with the group's deliberations said Thursday.
Today I heard on the radio that they would like to see a 50% reduction of American troops that would begin next year. You know that won't happen. This study group was just another waste of time and money so Bush could show another false facade of concern and cooperation. We are familiar with his two faced politics by now.
You know, that 50% reduction would be right and only a start. Knowing there are approximately 150,000 troops there. That would mean withdrawing some 75,000 troops starting next year. The correct and responsible thing to do would be to send half of them home for R&R and the remainder should go directly to Afghanistan where they should have been in the first place.
Last week I mentioned that the reason Bush has been ignoring the Iraq study Group was that he was going to ignore their suggestions until his own group arrived with their findings that will mysteriously be more to his liking.
Today White House officials stress Bush is not in a rush to act on the panel's recommendations since the administration is conducting its own Iraq policy review, coordinated by national security adviser Stephen Hadley. you know he is not going to take the Official study groups advice because he is the decider and he knows more than all those seasoned experts.
Ignoring all good advice is the norm as you know and is the reason we are in this situation today. Bush still insists on staying in Iraq as long as we have to in order for the country to stand up on its own.
All of a sudden Al-Maliki told ABC News Iraqi forces would be ready to take control of security in Iraq by June and that he pressed Bush on the matter during their meeting in Jordan. How can he say that? They are going to be decimated in no time!
I can say that Iraqi forces will be ready, fully ready to receive this command and to command its own forces, and I can tell you that by next June our forces will be ready," al-Maliki told ABC News .I don't in any respect see that to be remotely possible so you have to wonder want is up?
The prime minister also said he has no tolerance for sectarian militias, not even the Mehdi Army aligned with Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, according to ABC News.

I don't believe any of that from Maliki for a minute! Iraq will not be able to nor do they want to be able to hold themselves together as a unified Shiite, Sunni, Kurdish, Iraq as Maliki wants you to believe.
we will be thrown out of there and that is what Bush is waiting for as his excuse and what we discussed yesterday will be the result. A graceful Exit My Ass!

Instantly as soon as we do leave, those police and the military will turn on each other and feed upon themselves. A Democratic Iraq is not what they want. Iraq will be in total chaos until each sect gets what they want and it will never happen.
This total chaos will then spread throughout the middle east compliments of Bush and it will not be denied! Bush's staying the course can only be for one reason and that is to have the soldiers in place to go after Iran. There can be no other reason. Staying there longer will only serve to kill more Patriotic Americans. The result will be the same.

I'd like to see the American troops exit back into Afghanistan for a couple years, and then leave with Canadians, hopefully with a semblance of a peacemaking/keeping mission accomplished. Iraq was a huge failure of both intelligence, and strategy, but if we can stabilize Afghanistan with security in the north, it may give the people there a chance to take power back from the poverty and druglords who will run the show until the end.

I'm with you! the idiot never should have diverted from the socalled war on terror in Afghanistan in order to destabilize the middle east via Iraq in order to start his new middle east order that will end in total disorder.
We should start a strategic whithdrawal from Iraq right into Afghanistan where we should be. The Canadians are doing a good job there but I understand they are learning as they go, not having that kind of combat experience.
I find that ludicrous after all this time.
From 9/11 he has been following a plan. Fighting terrorism was not it. It was just the reason he needed to attack Iraq and start to implement his new middle east and world order. Please read the following and you will understand everything.
As you may remember, Bush was looking for something to happen that would put the country and the world behind what he already had plans to do. 9/11 gave him that something. He has been lying and misleading right from the beginning.
He had plans right from the beginning to establish a new societal, middle east, and world order. That is why it was important to him to whip up a media and public fury which of course, he has done.
He used the excuse of 9/11 to attack Iraq and unsettle the middle east guaranteeing the loss of Afghanistan, Iraq, and the entire middle east. If fighting terrorism was his goal he would have stayed in Afghanistan. He lied to our troops and us from the beginning. He did this so he could further his idea of a new middle east and world order. Of course lying all the while and whipping up as much support and frenzy as he could in the media and minds he controls until he can fully implement his plans..
At this point it behooves him to continue to ignore reality and continue to whip up a frenzy so he can continue staying the course in order to further prosecute his new middle east and world order.
We are all shamelessly being used so Bush can follow his plan for new order. I wrote this 3 years ago but it is more obvious today. Let me know what you think? I won't get any deeper but it gets worse from here.

You're exactly right about Bush using 9/11 as an excuse to finish off Iraq, which makes it doubly despicable, since he took a tragedy for thousands of Americans, Canadians, and more, and turned it into the biggest tragedy of the century.

Thanks for telling me about the best way to reach you. I have noted it.
The worst part about what Bush did is that what he has unleashed in the middle east is still just starting and the entire middle east will be embroiled whith much of what he has unleashed around the world being paid for many years to come with masny wars around the world.
It is still just getting started I am sorry to say. My sons are in this too!
