generals don’t decide to pull all forces out of a country, nor do they announce it when it has been decided.

heads of state or their cabinet ministers do that.

The letter was very poorly worded. Given that the vote in IRaq was to ask their own government to ask us to leave, it was premature, the Iraqi government has not yet consulted with us.

A letter saying we were taking preparatory steps in case we were asked to leave made sense, but the letter seemed to go beyond that.

This may have been an exercise in determining who in Iraq is leaking to the media — either among our military brass or among Iraq’s political class.

Would it be too much to hope that this draft was provided to the Gang of 8 with a request to keep confidential, and immediately leaked?

Explains why General Seely’s note was on Nancy Pelosi’s letterhead, doesn’t it?
