Uh OH! Some Iraqi Forces To Be Redeployed!

J.J. Jackson* | June 24, 2008

If you read this site, you know that our man/woman/thing in Washington (aka The Source) recently said that troop redeployments were imminent and the Democrats were wondering what to do in order to spin this as a victory for them and not America and Iraq.

This comes from a reader and even I missed it:

Baghdad, Jun 16, (VOI) - U.S. President George Bush on Monday announced the withdrawal of 30,000 troops next July, highlighting that any further withdrawal of the troops will depend on the security conditions in the country.

This came during a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown in London.

The U.S. president linked any further withdrawal of U.S. forces with the improvement of Iraqi forces’ capabilities and their abilities to bear more responsibilities, as well as the economic improvement and more progress regarding political reconciliation.
“This strategy aims at handing Iraqis more responsibilities,” Bush said.

I published The Source’s email on the 16th after having received it on the 14th – two days before this report about actual an drawdown just as was reported was coming. Chalk another on up to our man/woman/thing in Washington.
