Good news Friday, Bushovik style.

General Odie Cologne says some troops can come home next spring. Even though that is about one and a half Freidman units, he still manages to lard his remarks with caveats, as if he can't wait to say them.
The U.S. may be able to reduce combat forces in Iraq by next spring, if Iraq’s own security forces continue to grow and improve, a senior American commander said Friday.

Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno, the top day-to-day commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, did not predict any U.S. reductions but said it may be feasible by spring. There are currently 156,000 U.S. troops in Iraq...

...“There’s so many things that could happen between now and then,” he said, referring to next spring.
There really are " so many things that could happen" but saying so covers the reality that US troops have no need to be there. Gen. Odie Cologne and his boss, "Surge-On" General Petraeus are really determining the feasibility of staying there, with the result already known.
