When Not All Is As It Seems
Greyhawk points to what would have been a huge story under the Bush administration.
1. In September, 2008, the 5th Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT) – after months of preparation – is ordered to Iraq. (One of two SBCTs that were then scheduled to replace the two currently in Iraq)
2. In February, 2009, President Obama announces his Iraq drawdown/Afghanistan surge – the 5th SBCT will be diverted to Afghanistan instead of Iraq.
3. March, 2009, the DoD announces the 4th SBCT will deploy to Iraq this fall, several months ahead of the original schedule replacing the 5th SBCT in the rotation in order to maintain two Stryker Brigades in Iraq.
Read the whole post. If the Obama administration is not actually withdrawing troops from Iraq what else are they not being honest about?

See this tiny little lonesome period —-> .
That’s what they’re being honest about. Everything else, not so much.

Well, the good news is that they are keeping the troop levels up.

Oh, and Purple A, my bifocals are not good enough to see the period, but then with BO, what else is new.
