...and that they have a goal of getting that down to 50,000 troops by September 1st.

5. Gotta have 'em over there to guard the oil- and ensure it flows to America

7. The story has not changed. 50,000 troops left by end of August.

The other 6,000 will leave by 8/31.

End of August has always been the deadline.
