Headline from AFP:
Bush: 8,000 US troops to leave Iraq
That's AWESOME!!!!, right? Here’s a sample of what Newsbusters found for alternate headlines for this reality:
MSNBC: Bush to keep troop levels in Iraq for ‘08
Times Online: President Bush to maintain US troops in Iraq until almost last day in office
AP: Bush keeping Iraq troop levels mostly steady
Washington comPost: Bush to Keep Iraq Troop Levels Steady Until After He Leaves Office
USA Today: AP: Bush won’t reduce Iraq forces until early ‘09
Financial Times: Bush to withdraw 4,000 Iraq troops
That Financial Times doesn't know that 4,000 is half of 5,000 really makes me wantto use them as a reference in the future.
