SURGE REPORT

Atrios has written a few times that there's no way we will be drawing down on or after this coming September and I thought for a bit that he was mistaken because of the country's desire to get the fuck out but I now see that he is correct.

Petraeus has said that we won't have enough data in September to make a judgment about the Surge and Odierno said the same thing. The Pentagon has prepared to have as many as 200,000 troops there by the end of 2007.
