First, the Surge and now the Tease
And all in support of the Sleaze in the White House. The Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates had started the slow unzip the keep the rubes happy as he does his part of the Washington burlesque.
One day after President Bush announced a limited drawdown of U.S. troops from Iraq by next summer, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said yesterday that it might be possible to reduce U.S. forces there further over the course of next year, down to approximately 100,000 troops by the end of 2008.The back filling began almost as soon as he spoke those words.
Gates spokesman Geoff Morrell later emphasized that the defense secretary's comments were his "personal views" and did not represent administration policy or a formal military plan.You see, despite his important position in the administration, he wasn't speaking officially even thogh every news agency was hanging on his every word. And after 6+ years of this crew we should know better than to believe what is said. It is what they do that hurts our country most.
