It's one thing to see it on paper but how does the lack of troops affect the safety of troops and civilians in Iraq? Apparently, the occupation started to go down hill as early as the fall of Baghdad a year ago. Moderate Iraqis saw the looting and American soldiers guarding only the oil ministry. They then got to be treated to Rummy declaring repeatedly that the looting was no big deal and that it was the same vase theft shown over and over again.

The only thing that has changed is the infusion of American taxpayer funds somewhere (anywhere, nowhere?) and a security situation that has really eroded in the last couple of weeks.

What a mess and what a danger.
