Troop Levels

I did a little research and although I am still looking, here's the deal, which won't surprise anyone (except him): There were lots and lots of trained Iraqis. And the definition of "trained" varied a lot. But the level stayed around 100,000 men for a long time. But, somehow, it had always increased to 100,000. Interestingly, the number of "fully trained batallions" went down over the course of a year, but each time was reported as a step forward by the knee-pad wearing press.

By the way, if you Yahoo! "bush liar idiot" the first link is to the White House. Google is somewhat more intuitive, and gives us something about his approval falling to 33%.
