I would have swore that Bush and Gang told us years ago tht the mission was accomplished...now some jack-leg general tells me that the next 75 days are critical to accomplish their mission....Updated: 2:47 p.m. ET Sept. 29, 2005
WASHINGTON - The number of Iraqi battalions capable of combat without U.S. support has dropped from three to one, the top American commander in Iraq told Congress Thursday, prompting Republicans to question whether U.S. troops will be able to withdraw next year.

Gen. George Casey, softening his previous comments that a “fairly substantial” pullout could begin next spring and summer, told lawmakers that troops might begin coming home from Iraq next year depending on conditions during and after the upcoming elections there.

“The next 75 days are going to be critical for what happens,” Casey told the Senate Armed Services Committee.
