1.0 link 96076 <![CDATA[Bush's Troop Deployment Time Mirage]]> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jon-soltz/bushs-deployment-time-mir_b_96076.html Here's the problem with President Bush's announced reduction in troop deployment times from 15 to 12 months: it's a PR stunt.

Why? Because, according to the AP, this won't apply to troops currently in the field, but those deploying in August. Now, I may be no expert in the president's "fuzzy math," but my calculations tell me that 12 months from August, 2008 is August, 2009.

There's no President Bush at that point.

So this is a promise he can throw out...
