| Powell Says US Troops To Begin Departing Iraq This Year |
| 2005-01-12 |
| EFL American troops will begin leaving Iraq this year as the Iraqi army, national guard and police force take on a larger security role, says Secretary of State Colin Powell. "But I cannot give you a timeline when they will all be home," Powell told National Public Radio in an interview released Wednesday by the State Department. Powell also ruled out any U.S. move to postpone elections scheduled Jan. 30 in Iraq to choose an interim legislative assembly. |

| #2 Jan 30 will end the first phase of the war. Phase II will be a confrontation between Iraqi democrats and Iraqi fascists, with the US gradually easing out of the conflict. No wonder the MSM and the left are so desperate to paint Iraq as a failure. It's clear that the fascists have lost the battle for popular support (even Sadr's rabble have put down their weapons and are participating in the democratic process), Zarqawi's desperate, and democracy will soon take hold. |

| #1 We expect large numbers of them to be leaving in a northwesterly direction, or possibly heading towards the east. |
