What a coincidence.....

Polls show the American people overwhelmingly want out. U.S. Generals and officials at the Pentagon are now letting certain hawkish Democrat Congressmen know we need to leave. Hell, even the 'Iraqi politicians' who we thought loved having us there are now saying those who are killing us have a 'right to resistance' and that we need to get out. So, of course, Condi, Rummy and the rest will now all of a sudden declare the 'training' of Iraq troops is coming along at a faster pace than thought so maybe we can begin pulling out. Funny thing about that is, just 6 days ago it was reported 'only 700 Iraqi troops who are fully independent and combat ready'. It's nice to see the pressure beginning to work on this administration...The lying bastards lied us into this war, so I guess it shouldn't be a surprise they'll lie us out of it, too. That's all right...just get us the hell out!

U.S. Starts Laying Groundwork for Significant Troop Pullout From Iraq " Even as debate over the Iraq war continues to rage, signs are emerging of a convergence of opinion on how the Bush administration might begin to exit the conflict. In a departure from previous statements, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said this week that the training of Iraqi soldiers had advanced so far that the current number of U.S. troops in the country probably would not be needed much longer. President Bush will give a major speech Wednesday at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., in which aides say he is expected to herald the improved readiness of Iraqi troops, which he has identified as the key condition for pulling out U.S. forces. The administration's pivot on the issue comes as the White House is seeking to relieve enormous pressure by war opponents. The camp includes liberals, moderates and old-line conservatives who are uneasy with the costly and uncertain nation-building effort. It also follows agreement this week among Iraqi politicians that the U.S. troop presence ought to decrease. Meeting in Cairo, representatives of the three major ethnic and religious groups called for a U.S. withdrawal and recognized Iraqis' "legitimate right of resistance" to foreign occupation. In private conversations, Iraqi officials discussed a possible two-year withdrawal period, analysts said. LA Times
