You say that like I didn't know it already.

It was meant for the general public---I can't tailor everything to fit your expansive knowledge of reality. Just go with me on this one.

Oh, you're tricky, I get it. Do I know you from another forum?

Since I'm Dilloduck on every board that I'm on, you would be the one to know.

I'm not going to put much faith in any timetable until I actually see it taking place. As far as I'm concerned we are being told what government officials in Iraq and the U.S. want us to hear.

Iraq's governing body is even more screwed up than ours where it comes to forming any sort of consensus on agreeing to anything. There are too many variables involved at this point.

This announcement is a bit too convenient for me. We could have started this process months ago if our government was committed to drawing down troop strengths.

Welcome to political spin 101.

The process has been going on for years.

no--it's when the Iraqi's feel like they can handle things on their own--like it has been from the start.

Yep, but I expect some will fail to understand that point.
