Of course troop numbers will be cut next year.
There isn't enough troops to continue at this pace next year.

Of course, we could send some imaginary troops.
After all, the war was "ginned up" using imaginary WMDs.

And in another curious piece of timing, MG Lynch, head of MND-Center, described any sort of cutback of the 'surge', let alone additional reductions in troop levels, as a "giant step backward." He was specifically addressing a question about Sen Warner's proposal to start withdrawals by Xmas, but the timing makes it look like a huge shot at Pace & the JCS also. I suspect Lynch will have some fast talking to do the next time he's in a conference with the JCS folk...

Except for one thing.

George W. Bush will never draw down the troop levels, beyond some token returns, no matter what it does to the American military.

That is because President Bush, along with everyone else, knows that the Iraqi government cannot last a day without the US military propping it up, and the Iraqi security forces are virtually all in the camp of one or another militia.

Therfore President Bush will continue to Run Out the Clock to January 2009, singing, "We're on the road to Victory" all the way.

Sorry about all those hundreds (thousands?) of additional people who will die in the mean time so Bush does not have to admit his failure.

But then, what are a few thousand lives when the ego of a President is involved?

Indeed, Jim. Funny, I seem to recall Bush going on at great length just about this time last year about how he was going to consult with his generals in September and then do, as he's claimed all along, what the military folks say ought to be done, and give them what they say they need. And just like every time he's said that in the past, it was an unrepentant lie - Bush did what Cheney told him to, ignored the advice of the JCS, and searched high & low for someone willing to be the 'face' of this 'new' policy, and continued on the same doomed course of trying to use military power to achieve political stability.
