If this prediction came true, that would certainly be "good news" for the country, even if it provided a short-term boost in the polls for the GOP. But it's hard to envision the neocons that have President Bush's ear advocating troop redeployment under Bush's watch.

1. So...

Hundreds of American deaths per year and thousands of Iraqi deaths per year mean nothing, but the Republicans losing another election matters. These "people" are disgusting.

2. Yeah forget the American catastrophe, or the Iraqi catastrophe, just protect the party!!!!

Republicans - Party ALWAYS comes first over country.

3. the warlords of the republican party only hope is that if Dems support keeping troops in Iraq.

4. chucklenuts doesn't give a rat's ass

about 2008, He's got his. He weathered 8 years; listened to his master's voice; enrich all his kronies and korporate kontributors. They are now ALL beholden to him.

5. I don't buy it for a second. Every credible source that I've read said that any surge would have to

be 18 months for it to be worth the effort. This, at least to me, seems like another smoke screen by the right wing echo chamber. They want to downplay the escalation and reassure the masses that any surge in troop strengh is only temporary because they are going to start redeploying soon. Yet they've been floating that redeployment is just a few months away trial balloon for a few years now. Why the heck should I start believing them now? This war isn't going to end while Dubya is still in the WH.

6. I have a problem with the word "redeploying".

the proper word is WITHDRAWING.

Even in defeat, these weasels will not speak the truth.

"redeploying" allows for too much latitude.

What has to happen is for ALL the reservists and National Guard to be returned to their former status...in the USA.

The reserve posts and National Guard units need to have their equipment replaced..

and the "regular military" should be returned to their posts as well.

7. well there's a difference

redeploying means moving some troops out and some troops to border locations, kurdistan, kuwait, etc.

withdrawing means getting the heck out.

they are not mutually exclusive. I would be ok with redeployment and partial withdrawal now, and full withdrawal within 12-18 months.

8. Sure, they're going to redeploy them

From the US, Korea and elsewhere to Iraq.

That's how Team Bush will redeploy the troops.
