Is there any word out there...
...about * pulling 1500 soldiers back from Iraq? That is the word in the office this morning. The more cynical of us think they are just moving to Iran. Anyway I have not heard from any official news source so I was just wondering.

1. I have not heard it either, but logic says that yes they are going to Iran
I am sure.

2. I heard the troops sent over for election security
were being pulled after the election. Nothing nefarious there, unless we're again being lied to.

3. Umm, if so, it's only bringing back some of the additional troops
that were sent in advance of the "election."

Besides, 1,500 is 1% of the 150,000 that were there for "elections." That's NOTHING.

4. It's 15,000
and it's military personnel who had their stays extended or were there for extra security for the elections. Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld said it yesterday.
