WASHINGTON — The United States and Iraq have agreed to seek "a general time horizon" for deeper reductions in American combat troops in Iraq. Iraqi officials, in a sign of growing confidence as violence decreases, have been pressuring the United States to agree to a specific timeline to withdraw U.S. forces. President Bush has adamantly opposed a timeline, and the White House said Friday that the timeframe being discussed would not be "an arbitrary date for withdrawal." Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki talked about the timing issue as part of discussions over a broader security agreement to keep American troops in Iraq after a U.N. mandate expires on Dec. 31. The White House says the two leaders, in a conversation on Thursday, agreed that the accord should include "a general time horizon for meeting aspirational goals, such as the resumption of Iraqi security control in their cities and provinces and the further reduction of U.S. combat forces from Iraq." Iraq has proposed requiring U.S. forces to fully withdraw five years after the Iraqis take the lead on security nationwide _ though that precondition could take years to meet. Earlier this month, Iraq's national security adviser, Mouwaffak al-Rubaie, said Baghdad would not accept any security deal unless it contains specific dates for the withdrawal of U.S.-led forces. Al-Maliki also has said he expects the pending Troop deal with the United States to have some type ... Source: www.ft.com --- 1 day ago

The Bush administration may withdraw as many as three combat brigades from Iraq beginning in September, The New York Times reported Saturday.The newspaper, citing sources in the administration and the military, said one reason for pulling more troops than previously planned out of Iraq is to increase the number of troops available for Afghanistan. Withdrawing troops would also ease the strain on the Army, which some officials have said is close to breaking point because of extended deployments.Even with the withdrawal of three brigades, 120,000 to 130,000 U.S. soldiers would remain in Iraq. There are 15 combat brigades in the country, but the number of soldiers has dropped slightly since the peak of the surge when there were 170,000 soldiers. ...

What’s a warmonger to do? The Iraqi government is feeling its oats because of a semblance of stability on the military front, there is a chance that provincial elections in the fall might bring some calm to the fractious political front, and a security agreement that gives Washington the ranch and Baghdad sloppy seconds will be DOA unless it is rewritten to respect Iraqi national sovereignty and includes a U.S. Troop withdrawal timetable. Worse still, President Bush and John McCain find themselves in an exceedingly uncomfortable position because Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki and his security surrogates and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama seem to be on the same page regarding that timetable. But then the Iraq war has never really been a war of liberation for Bush and the man who would represent a third Bush term. Any doubt about that was removed yesterday when the White House rejected out of hand any kind of timetable. The war, of course, has been about advancing America’s agenda in the Middle East. Getting rid of Saddam Hussein was just a pretext for foisting the neocon wet dream of democracy on a bunch of people who worship a false God and wear funny clothes. The welfare of Iraq has been well down a priority list that includes a slew of military bases from which Iran can more conveniently be subverted, target practice for thugs from Blackwater and other U.S. security firms ostensibly guarding diplomats, ...
