Such > a strategy, based in part on the U.S. experience in El > Salvador in the 1980s, is still in the early planning stages > and would be adjusted to fit the outcome of the current surge > in troop levels, according to military officials and Pentagon > consultants. But a drawdown of forces would be in line with > comments to Congress by Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates > last month that if the "surge" fails, the backup plan would > include moving troops "out of harm's way." Such a plan also > would be close to recommendations of the Iraq Study Group, of > which Gates was a member before his appointment as Defense > Department chief. > > -- > Bruce Sorge > > "I'm a mawg: half man, half dog.
