The Associated Press is reporting that President Bush will announce a troop cut in the upcoming televised address. To be clear, the surge ending is now being marketed as a "cut."
See my two previous posts for an explination of how bogus this is. This is SMOKE AND MIRRORS. This alleged "cut" is fully in line with preexisting schedules of troop rotations. It therefore represents no concession of any kind, no readjustment of any kind, no change-of-course of any kind.
After this "cut", troop levels will be at pre-surge levels. Folks, the more things change, the more they stay the same. You ready to "stay the course" some more?
It will be interesting to see how the press handles this.
