I think this is pretty good news for the Bushies. If they can draw down the military presence by next year they should get a bump in the approval ratings. Especially if they have some sort of ticker tape parade or other ceremony honoring the vets that are coming back. This will also take the wind out of the sails of the insurgency because we won't be there to strike at. It's good to read this as well:
President Bush is relying on commanders in Iraq to judge when the time is right to adjust the level of U.S. forces, based in part on an assessment of how capable the U.S.-trained Iraqi government forces are of fighting the insurgency on their own.
They are not like Abercrappy (Neil Abercrombie the lefty representative from Hawaii) and the rest of the cut and run crowd. At least they are asking the commanders how many troops they need to get the job done. They aren't going to pull out willy nilly by some self appointed date pulled out of thin air.
