Dale, I wonder what the remaining brigades will be asked to do. Will they be asked to stand down and wait for their withdrawal? Will they participate in combat missions?

So - I went to his website and could not find an answer.

I did find this - do you think it is accurate? "No progress" - the guy is not what he is being sold as. He is a Chicago big city machine politician only with a smile.

The Surge: The goal of the surge was to create space for Iraq's political leaders to reach an agreement to end Iraq's civil war. At great cost, our troops have helped reduce violence in some areas of Iraq, but even those reductions do not get us below the unsustainable levels of violence of mid-2006. Moreover, Iraq's political leaders have made no progress in resolving the political differences at the heart of their civil war.

It seems like it is an article of faith that the surge has failed - desperate to lose quickly?
