Continuing here as I please.

Are you aware that WE are also drawing down troops in Iraq?

Drawing down is not the same as a date certain of withdrawal, on the heels of an additional cave and payout of millions to terrorists, with a probable additional "Spanish" style surrender to the terrorists.

Are you aware that Italy's withdrawal is dependent upon the adequate build up of Iraqi troops?

Political caveat for cover.

Who wants to wager that the Italians will determine the Iraqis will be MORE than adequate in taking-up the slack when the time frame they promised the terrorists they would flee Iraq actually arrives?

Can you please point to a source (i.e. facts) to back up your assumptions that there is a correlation between this future withdrawal and the commie journalist incident?

Facts only, please. No more "Who wants to wager...." kinds of comments.
