WASHINGTON - President Bush's senior advisers on Iraq have recommended he stand by his current war strategy, and he is unlikely to order more than a symbolic cut in troops before the end of the year, administration officials told The Associated Press Tuesday.


The recommendations from the military commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker come despite independent government findings Tuesday that Baghdad has not met most of the political, military and economic markers set by Congress.

In an interview with ABC News, Petraeus suggested a drawdown next spring would be needed to avoid further strain on the military. Asked if March would be that time, he said, "Your calculations are about right."


SIX MORE MONTHS. This is what they have been saying for years. I can write this CRAP.

1. Another Friedman Unit! Did anyone honestly expect anything else? (nt)

2. Granted I just skimmed it

But the only reference I saw to Democrats in that article was a quote from Kerry saying that Bush's policy is a failure.

3. I see no reference to Dems. What's with the defeatism?

and negativity?
