| US sees possible drop in troops in Iraq from 2006 |
| 2005-10-27 |
| WASHINGTON - The US ambassador to Iraq said on Wednesday that political progress and improving home-grown security forces there may allow the United States to cut its military presence in 2006. âI do believe itâs possible that we could adjust our forces, downsizing them in the course of next year. Thatâs possible given the positive political development and the continuing growth in the credibility of the Iraqi forces,â Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad said at the White House. |

| #5 Nonsense. The American people were prepared to continue support for the Viet Nam war until Johnson caved. They'll keep supporting this one. Taxes, spending, the economy, gas prices and immigration are all much more important to the 2006 elections. The donks will have a big issue and the MSM will bury us in coverage, but that's going to happen regardless of how many troops are "drawn down". And it won't change enough votes to make a difference. |

| #4 If we don't have at least a 20k drawdown by the 2006 elections, the donks will have a big, big issue. |

| #3 The true quagmire is within Democrat political circles. Hence the projection into Iraq, Katrina, and the media. |

| #2 But it's still a quagmire, right? Quackmire! Quackmire! And what about the brutal Afghan winter? How will we ever cope with that? Oh, wait! That was the last quagmire. Never mind. |

| #1 Gosh, that's almost like common sense, y'know? Mebbe he should sit down with General Skeery and explain it to him. |
