re: One would hope that after that, a plan for US withdrawal (at least from police activities and hunt-and-kill operations) would begin fairly soon, say in Q2:06.

"One would hope" is fantasy. The military wants to draw down, they recognize that our presence is "fueling the insurgency". The neocon civilian pentagon leaders, and the neocon political leaders, want a permanent presence.

re: You are not anti-war, the war portion is over....

Tell Bush and his cronies, who am I to argue?

First of all, the "war" is over.

Yes...that's what bush told us more than 2 years ago...since then, almost 2K soldiers have died, and untold iraqis.

That sound OK with you? It does to me.

It is nonsense...just yesterday the UN warned the provisional iraqi government to restore voting rules that allow for the Sunni vote to count...as it stands, the process is a sham to the Sunnis, who could vote in unison and still fail to defeat the constitution as written and/or effect any changes.

"First of all, the "war" is over."

Then why do we still read about such things as Operation River Gate? When the US feels the need to retake whole towns, and several of them at that, it doesn't sound like the war is over.

That sounds like something Junior Bush says to the reflection at the bottom of his glass each night.
