Petraeus: U.S. will have to cut force in Iraq
yes and if they cut 30,000 {which I'm sure they won't] we still have the force we had before the so-called surge........

WAKE UP DEMOCRATS......STOP THE FUNDING FOR THIS ILLEGAL WAR OF CHOICE

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- The top American commander in Iraq said Wednesday he was preparing recommendations on troop cuts and believes the U.S. footprint in Iraq will have to be "a good bit smaller" by next summer.

But Gen. David Petraeus cautioned against a quick or significant U.S. withdrawal that could surrender "the gains we have fought so hard to achieve."
