Iraq troop withdrawal...? An election year gambit...?

there's a really nasty smell coming from somewhere... must be karl rove...
The United States and Britain are planning to pull all their troops out of Iraq by the spring of 2007, two British newspapers reported in their Sunday editions, quoting unnamed senior defense ministry sources.

The Sunday Telegraph said the planned pull-out followed an acceptance by the two governments that the presence of foreign troops in Iraq was now a large obstacle to securing peace.

i guess it's a measure of my cynicism that i find it impossible to take anything on face value anymore... i'm always trying to read between the lines, looking for the malign intentions undoubtedly buried in there somewhere... it's been so long since i've heard honest-to-god good news, i'm not sure i'd recognize it if it bit me in the ass...
