Bush makes meaningless gesture...
President Bush today has announced that by next summer, he intends to cut U.S. troops in Iraq by 30,000.
This is basically a meaningless gesture since all he's really doing is recalling the "surge troops", which will just reduce the number of U.S. soldiers in Iraq to pre-surge numbers (130,000 - 140,000 troops). Good luck selling this "troop reduction" to the American public whom are becoming overwhelmingly sick and tired of U.S. involvement in the Middle-East.
