Troop Drawdown Discussion Called “Premature and Unwise”
EmailABCNews’ John Hendren Reports: A government official involved in Iraq planning tells ABC News, when it comes to cutting American troop levels in Iraq, "The concept’s being discussed, but not the time frame."
The official noted that was only to his knowledge and cabinet officials could be discussing that time frame outside of formal meetings on Iraq strategy. He also said it is "very premature and unwise" for the administration to be publicly discussing the administration’s internal planning for a troop drawdown at a time when the troop buildup remains incomplete.
The New York Times reported earlier today that the Bush administration is developing "concepts" to decrease the number of troops in Iraq "by as much as half next year."

“Premature and unwise” for who? Not the troops; all they can see is losing 100+ buddies, plus hundreds wounded, A MONTH.
The solution for Iraq: DIVIDE THE LAND
DIVIDE THE OIL
and bring our sons and daughters home so that they can be honored as they truly deserve. They and their families are the ones who are REALLY bearing the burden of this ADM’s war.
In 08, the Constitution and CONSCIENCE will give voters the chance to put an end to this waste of our most precious resource, our people.

And how to bring about troop withdrawals
on a non-timetable basis:
SURGE OUT – Starting in the green zone (or somewhere else in Baghdad) expansion is made of territory controlled exclusively by the Iraqi Security Forces/Armed Forces. At random intervals and random sizes of expansion. Terrorists can’t key on what they don’t know will happen next.
Control & legitimacy is given to the Iraqi government, and they can “grow up” in steps.
SURGE OUT.

The reason Bush refuses to draw down troops is because he knows that the Iraqis would put a quick end to the terrorist if they were in charge, thus exposing his policy as the failure it is. The report today of Iraqi citizens attacking and killing some 20+ Al Quaeda confirms this.
