The transfer of security responsibilty has been proceeding under the radar. You will surprised how soon our troop strength will be reduced to under 100,000.
WASHINGTON, April 22, 2005 – There are more than 155,000 “trained and equipped” members of the Iraqi security forces, and trends are clearly positive, a senior defense official said during a Pentagon background briefing today.
What’s more, U.S. troop strength in Iraq went under 140,000 this week with the completion of the rotation of forces in and out of the country, he said.
Iraqi forces are doing well, this official said. Between 1,500 and 3,000 more soldiers and police are joining the country’s forces weekly. “Certainly the capabilities vary from unit to unit, but the trend is clearly positive in development of the forces,” he said.
Or....you can believe the left and conclude it's all a big lie.
