There should be a national blog day pushing for the return of all of our troops from Iraq. Bush's withdrawal of 30,000 troops is nothing more than an old retailers trick of raising the price of products just before putting them on sale.

This is awful. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Wolfowitz, and Gonzales (as a start) should be tried for war crimes.

Bush's withdrawal of 30,00 troops is nothing more than an old retailers trick of raising the price of products just before putting them on sale.

Good point. I think Ted Koppel said something to that effect.

Wasn't "the surge" designed from the beginning to be a temporary increase in troops levels coupled with a change in tactics designed to address the security situation in places like Anbar and Baghdad? And if Petraeus says that it has achived its military goals, then doesn't it make sense that the extra troops would be brought home?

True, and if they really met their goal, it would seem that they would be bringing, not only the 30,000 troops they used for their hyped up political stunt, but thousands more. Are we supposed to be proud of Bush for bringing home troops that shouldn't have been sent anyway? The news media seem to be trying awful hard to convince us that we should.

Covering Bush's ass is a military objective?
