Yeah and it sounds like that'll be sooner than later. Finally I think
we have a JCSC that's a straight shooter rather than a yes-man:
Adm. Michael G. Mullen, President Bush's nominee to head the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, told a Senate panel yesterday that the war in Iraq is
taking a heavy toll on the U.S. military, warning that American forces
are "not unbreakable" and stressing the need to "plan for an eventual
drawdown" of troops.
Appearing in a confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services
Committee, Mullen, 60, acknowledged that the increase in U.S. forces
cannot continue past April 2008 under the military's current force
structure. He also cautioned that Iraqi political reconciliation is
not keeping pace with security improvements.
Unless the Iraqi government takes advantage of the "breathing space"
that U.S. forces are providing, Mullen said, "no amount of troops in
no amount of time will make much of a difference."
