1. The headline was edited to change the meaning

It should read '92,000 US troops told to prepare for Iraq rotation'

2. I changed mine to say rotation

4. Thanks

there's a bit of a difference between rotating 92,000 troops and/or sending 92,000 more.

3. Misleading headline and a jibberish story

I can't tell if it means 92,000 more troops, or if we are drawing down to that number, how many troops are coming home, or what?

Safe bet is on the troops numbers staying at about 150-160 thousand through 2006.

5. 162,000 there now, I wonder if we'll hit 200,000 during the transition?

So much for "last throes".

6. Corporate media said they were looking to up the numbers...

before the december elections.

Was my gut the only one that twisted inside out at reading this?

7. Coincidence? Rawstory headline: US cuts diplomatic ties w/ Syria today nt
