Declaring victory and going home (which means 130,000 troops staying.)
I am just so disgusted by the media coverage.
A screaming headline, "Petraeus hints at U.S. Iraq troop reduction," but if you actually read the article, what Petraeus said is that they are going to stick to "the surge" plan which requires a Spring withdrawal.
(This matches the coverage of Bush's comments yesterday.)
This is not a change. This is a deception with a coy little smile to let the media think they are getting something. This is all part of the lie that "the surge" is working, and the media is playing right along.

It's funny, we're hearing alot about the US military performance and the lack of Iraqi political performance, but nobody's talking about the inability of the Iraqi security forces.
