(Best Syndication) General David Petraeus is preparing for an end to the recent troop surge and a reduction of US forces in Iraq. Although the top US commander in Iraq cautioned against a quick or significant withdrawal, he did say that the American presence in Iraq will be “a good bit smaller” next summer.
The announcement came in advance of his September report to Congress. The general is expected to present a mixed bag of results for the troop surge. The report, due by September 15th, will likely highlight military success but will present poor results in the political arena. It was hoped legislation would be passed by Iraqi lawmakers to end the de-Baathification. There has been no law passed to share the oil revenue with the Sunnis either.

There is a poll at the bottom of that article:

| according to a CNN poll. Only 43 percent of Americans trust Petraeus to report what is really going on in Iraq. Even more remarkable is that 72 percent of those polled would not change their view on the war “regardless of what Petraeus says”. |
