Bush politicizes troop reductions.......again

Just in time to take a some air out of Obama's sails:

Citing reductions in violence in Iraq, President Bush said this morning that
“combat tour lengths for U.S. troops will be reduced to 12 months from 15 months.” While 147,000 U.S. troops remain in Iraq, Bush said troop reductions might be possible because the “terrorists are ‘are on the run.’”

Yeah, boy. George W Bush sure does have those terrorists on the run........in his mind.
