Let me get this straight:
First we hear that the Bush administration is planning, ever so quietly to double the amount of combat forces in Iraq by the end of this year. This will occur by sending more combat brigades and extending tours of duty for troops already there.
Now, we hear that they are developing what officials call "concepts" for reducing American combat forces in Iraq significantly next year.
Can you say grasping at straws? Somehow I get the feeling that they have no idea what they are going to do. But that doesn't matter; what is important is how it all spins out for the 2008 election.
