White House liars cooking up "withdrawal of forces" stories
In a videoconference Friday with Pentagon reporters, a top commander for U.S. forces discussed a possible withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq by next year. If it seems like you've heard this phony story before, you have, for four straight years.

Lapdog-of-the-week Lt. General Raymond Odierno gave the well rehearsed Bush administration's song-and-dance "if the political process continues to go positively..."

"If the Iraqi security forces continue to improve and we are successful, there is a potential that we could withdraw by the spring." - Odierno.

Odierno spoke after another hellish week for American forces in Iraq: 30 more American Soldier deaths were reported since last Sunday, including 11 on Saturday alone. This brings the number of U.S. military deaths in the war to 3,558 and 81 in June.

This has Dick Cheney's greasy fingerprints all over it.

Have a look at some stories below - see if you can figure out a pattern.
