| US general: troops in Iraq cut by 20% | ||
| 2006-01-29 | ||
A top US general has said the United States has reduced its forces in Iraq by up to 20% in the last two months, but may choose to raise the number of troops if the security situation worsens. General John Abizaid, commander of the US Central Command, told Kuwaiti daily Al-Qabas in comments published on Saturday that further cut in forces depended on the degree of stability.

| #1 I wonder if most of the troops being shipped out are combat service support, who might just be in the way if all of a sudden, serious combat operations began. |
