Sorry, just trying to use a little "flip-flop" talking point from the last election. Funny how all the talk recently has been about troop reduction. You'd have to have the attention span of a flea to believe this administration.
From the link:
"Before the Pentagon begins reducing troop levels in Iraq next year it probably will increase them this fall to provide extra security for a planned October referendum and a December election, a Pentagon official said Monday.
Lawrence Di Rita, spokesman for Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, noted that troop levels were raised last January during Iraq's first elections, and then returned to the current level of about 138,000 several weeks later.
"It's perfectly plausible to assume we'll do the same thing for this election," he said, while stressing that no decisions have been made."
