As philulm stated in his letter, pressure from the Democrats and the waning support of the public are causing the Administration to talk about possible troop withdrawal.
However, overarching all considerations, are the elections next year. I think the Administration, along with prominent Republican lawmakers will do or say anything to keep the elections from being a rout of conservatives in 2006.
The problem is that these people are so dishonest that whatever they do may not be intended to last long. I still believe that there are powerful oil interests in this country that want the US to stay in Iraq for a long time to come.
