The AP posted a story a couple of days ago that I just came across, reporting on the increase to 135,000 of troops stationed in Iraq. Part of this increase is represented by yet another last-minute decision to keep some soldiers there past their expected tour of duty.
I smell a rat.
It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that the Bush Administration is stuffing a bunch of troops in now, so that it can make a big splash by pulling some out in October. There's precedent for this behavior; e.g., their history of predicting wildly high budget deficits early in the year so that they can later claim economic "progress."
Don't be fooled again.
