Troop reduction in Iraq announced today: 7,000.

My cousin, who is like a sister to me, has a son who was scheduled to go. I'm waiting to hear from her as to whether or not he is among those 'on hold'.

He is about to retire and was anxious to make one last trip abroad before hanging it up and returning to Iowa with his family. I've emailed his mom, but haven't heard back, yet.

I don't know which to hope for -- that he doesn't have to go or that he gets his wish for one last trip. I guess better to be safe but disappointed.
