There already has been a planned draw-down after the next Iraqi election. Murtha makes a big noise now so he and the rest of his Rats nest can pretend they had something to do with the draw-down and collect needed campaign cash from thier buddies in MoveOn.org.
Democrats = Cowards....
Yoiu have it. The drawdown will begin after the election down to the "normal" 135,000, and then incrementally according to plans. Any slowdown in the rate of withdrawal will be taken as a "Failure."
