Pop quiz -- draw the appropriate logical conclusion from the following snippets. First, there's this:
Bush has said that creating Iraqi security forces able to defend their own country is a prerequisite to an eventual withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq.
Followed shortly by this:
During congressional testimony on Thursday, Gen. George Casey, top U.S. commander in Iraq, and Gen. John Abizaid, top U.S. commander in the Middle East, said the number of such battalions [that can go into combat with insurgents without the help of the U.S. military] had dropped since July to one from three, out of the roughly 100 Iraqi battalions.
Come on ... even Weasel Boy should be able to figure out the logical consequences of the above. OK, maybe not him, but everyone else.

Anyone who believed that the US had any plans of ever putting together a major withdrawl from Iraq needs to contact me about a bridge I'm currently selling shares in - it's a good deal.
