"Decision due in spring on Iraq pullout; General to assess conditions after provincial voting" by Chelsea J. Carter, Associated Press | December 22, 2008
BASRA, Iraq - The top US general in Iraq said he will make a decision about the future role of American troops in early spring, to allow enough time to address any violence that may arise from January's provincial elections.
So when are the false flag attacks coming? I mean, CUI BONO? Why would the 'terrorists" bomb if we are getting ready to 'leave?"
Army General Ray Odierno said the two-month period after the election will allow US troops and Iraqi security forces to ensure that those legitimately elected can take office. He also said US troops will move into southern Iraq early next year to replace departing British forces.
Translation: We need to stay to make sure our puppets are installed after the rigged election. And WE AIN'T EVEN LEAVING; we's just MOVING TROOPS SOUTH!
"So we have to make sure in the election those who didn't win understand that, and we will be able to seat the new government properly," said Odierno, the overall commander of US and allied forces in Iraq. "And once we get to that point, it's now time for us to take a look at what is right for the future."
Violence is dropping sharply throughout the country. An Iraqi military official said yesterday that murder rates have returned to prewar levels....
I'm not even going to say it:
"However, the pace of violence in Iraq has picked up in the last few weeks."
Sigh! So which one is the lie, MSM?
