Last night, President Bush announced that because the “troop surge is working,” he would be pulling out roughly 23,700 troops by mid-July 2008 and returning the U.S. force in Iraq to pre-surge levels.
September 18:
The Pentagon is preparing to alert eight National Guard units that they should be ready to go to Iraq or Afghanistan beginning late next summer, The Associated Press learned Wednesday[...]
All together, the Guard announcement would involve about 20,000 soldiers.
It’s hard for me to keep track, but something tells me that, indeed, the “surge” is not working.
