"Although Petraeus and other senior commanders in Iraq had been suggesting the possibility of a pause in the drawdown, the idea runs counter to those in the military — particularly in the Army and Marine Corps — who worry that strains on troops from long and multiple combat tours will grow worse unless the drawdown continues after July."
(link...)
Note that they are no longer using the word withdrawal. When Bush is taking troops out it is called a "drawdown"
I just hope all the Americans who have had their eyes opened about this war will remember to be more alert when it comes to the Washington/ Republican propaganda machine.
I hope the betrayed early supporters of this war will refuse to vote Republican in the general election.
