| US reviewing Iraq troop pullout pace |
| 2010-05-12 |
| American commanders, worried about increased violence in the wake of Iraq's inconclusive elections, are now reconsidering the pace of a major troop pullout this summer, U.S. officials said Tuesday. The withdrawal of the first major wave of troops is expected to be delayed by about a month, the officials said. Waiting much longer could endanger President Barack Obama's goal of reducing the force level from 92,000 to 50,000 troops by Aug. 31. |

| #2 I wonder if my brother and his unit will be rotated back to Germany next month as scheduled. I hope so, but not if it would endanger their mission. |

| #1 Waiting much longer could endanger President Barack Obama's goal of reducing the force level from 92,000 to 50,000 troops by Aug. 31. Well we certainly wouldn't want to do that now would we? |
