Meanwhile in Iraq...

According to CNN, Gen. George Casey - the top US commander in Iraq - submitted a troop pullout plan to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld:

It includes numerous options and recommends that brigades -- usually made up of about 2,000 soldiers each -- begin pulling out of Iraq early next year.

Looks like someone needs to tell him Marines don't cut and run. Coward. He's either with us or against us. In fact, he might as well just drop the pretense and join Al-Qaeda now.
