see-saw

two weeks ago: General Says US Forces in Iraq Could Begin Withdrawal Next Year

today: Early Pullout Unlikely In Iraq

***SPECIAL BONUS LINK***
two years ago: Reduction in U.S. Troops Eyed for '04
***END SPECIAL BONUS LINK***


so are there two competing groups in the military, one that thinks a withdrawal next year is feasible and the other that doesn't, with each one giving alternating statements to the press? or are the military leaders just collectively making this shit up as they go along?
