Rumsfeld: Troop Reductions Imminent
Two combat brigades will be sent home in early 2006, according to the Defense Secretary. This is in addition to the reduction of the temporary buildup that accompanied the elections.
Good. We all want the troops home as soon as possible, both pro- and anti-war Americans alike. Our argument is over timing, not that basic fact…
Republicans have to support the pullout and make significant steps in that direction in ‘06. They are up for re-election and find themselves suddenly accountable to the people again.
Nothing like elections to remind politicians it’s a democracy!
