WASHINGTON — The Pentagon today announced a troop rotation for Iraq that will stretch through 2008 and be substantially smaller than the current force, but officials said additional units may be added.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld indicated that the newly announced rotation did not necessarily reflect plans for how many American troops will actually be needed in Iraq over the coming two years.

Officials also disclosed that U.S. commanders in Iraq decided they would not need until early next year one brigade, normally numbering about 3,500 soldiers, that was scheduled to deploy to Iraq before the Dec. 15 election. That unit, the 1st Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, based at Fort Riley, Kan., will deploy after the election instead.

BLA... BLA... BLA...

HERE WE GO ...

The Pentagon announced the following major units will deploy as part of the 2006-2008 rotation:
— Division headquarters, 25th Infantry Division, Schofield Barracks, Hawaii.

1. Leave it to Rummy to turn Hawaii away from its trend toward the GOP.
