U.S. General in Iraq Outlines Troop Cuts

WASHINGTON, June 24 — The top American commander in Iraq has drafted a plan that projects sharp reductions in the United States military presence there by the end of 2007, with the first cuts coming this September, American officials say.

According to a classified briefing at the Pentagon this week by the commander, Gen. George W. Casey Jr., the number of American combat brigades in Iraq is projected to decrease to 5 or 6 from the current level of 14 by December 2007.

Malkin and her Army of Photoshoppers are, of course, out in full force. You have to give them credit. This is as close as most of them are going to get to actually doing something (in their minds, anyway) in defense of our country. Hey, it’s a lot closer than Richard Cheney ever got!

I don’t think it’s the New York Times they need to be pissed at, however. They need to be pissed at whoever within the Bush administration keeps leaking all this classified information to the New York Times. (My guess would be Rove… he’s done it before.) Because — there is not one of them who could ever convince me that they would not be cheering the New York Times for publishing this information if a Democrat was currently in the White House.

They’re not worried about the security of our country. They’re worried about saving George W. Bush’s butt. And in order to do that, they need to stop up the leak. Their war is not with the New York Times. Their war is with that leak. That is who they should be Photoshopping against.
