"Gen. [David] Petraeus and Ambassador [Ryan] Crocker tell me if the kind of success we're now seeing continues, it will be possible to maintain the same level of security with fewer American forces," Bush said during remarks at Al Asad Air Base in Anbar province.
He then went on to blatantly misrepresent the anti-war movement by warning them that there would be no "quick" withdrawal. There are several things that are odd about the latest BS meme. For one, we've been told for quite some time that things were going great in Iraq (Teh Skoolz! Teh Skoolz!), so why couldn't we have drawn down over 2 years ago? Another odd thing is that we know they've been lying about the progress in Iraq, so is this just a fig leaf to justify drawing down? Atrios thinks something like that may be going on and I tend to agree.
