Keep this in mind with the permanent bases in Iraq. It is a shell game.
If we have 300,000 troops on the ground now...but then 200,000 are given new orders to report to the base in Baghdad...then we only have 100,000 troops deployed.
It's all a game. Whenever we need more troops, they will just be given orders to go to Baghdad. There will be no new deployments.

1. I get it-shell game is perfect
Like that arguement about not withdrawing funds-so the war never ends-if that's the only way to bring the troops home-than that is the only way to bring them home. Shell game by the Democrats too. If you keep funding it it never ends!

But worse is the fucking media-I turn on my computer and Yahoo has the news listed as "Bush speech about withdrawing troops."

THE SAME EXTRA TROOPS.

Gawd, is America this dumb?
