There are no plans to keep troop levels constant. The plan is to withdraw troops soon.
Bush does not handle war funding. Congress does.
Iraqis are taking over a greater share of policing Iraq.
You might have read the story yesterday about an Iraqi force raiding an al Qaeda stronghold and saying they caught the top al Qaeda leader in Iraq. The U.S. military says it's mistaken identity. But the point is, Iraqis ARE policing more and more of their own nation. In time, they will police all of it.
Bush has said CLEARLY that troop levels will remain constant.
Bush proposed funding, congress approves or disapproves his requests.
Based on U.S. participation remaining relatively constant, I question the assertion of greater Iraqi involvement
One story is great news, but let's see the bottom line.
You have no idea how government works lol. Presidents do not request funding.
And, try reading the papers: 3,500 troops to be pulled out if Iraq in the next few weeks.
