Petraeus: The Surge Will End in July 2008
By Spencer Ackerman - September 10, 2007, 2:22 PM

So much for the surge ending in the spring of 2008. Petraeus said that in order to preserve the gains made in security, he's recommended drawing down one brigade combat team -- about 5,000 troops -- by December, with the remaining 25,000 or so troops of the surge out by July 2008. Any further draw-downs will have to wait for his further assessment -- coming in March 2008. So March 2008 is the new September 2007.

1. Unless they give us some other reason, like growing a spine,

they'll probably go along with Petraeus' assessment. :cry:

edit: Sorry to have to say this about my party.

2. If we don't pressure centrist Repubs

Then it's hard to figure out where they're going to get the votes to do anything different.
