Good Information on U.S. Troop Withdrawal from Iraq!

The article which follows from Reuters by Ib on Villelabeitia certainly fits the previous guesstimates I have made
on a timetable for the full withdrawal of United States troops from Iraq.
I have contended since we went into Iraq there would be no attack launched against Israel by ten Arab Nations as long as American troops were in Iraq. I agree with the assessment made in the following article as to the timetable it states in phases from now to mid-2008, and it is one of the main reasons I believe the attack will occur at some point in time between 2008 and 2012.
After we have pulled our troops out of Iraq, it would take an act of the Congress to suddenly send them back, and we will be qu
ite convinced that Israel can handle the situation as it has in the past, but this time it will be different.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) – American troops will probably be gone from Iraq by mid-2008 as the Iraqi forces they are training take over from them, Iraq’s National Security Adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie said on Friday.
He said he expected the roughly 133,000 U.S. troops to be cut to less than 100,000 by year’s end and an “overwhelming majority” of them to have left by the end of 2007 under a U.S.-Iraqi plan for progressively handing over security.
“We have a roadmap, a condition-based agreement where, by the end of this year, the number of coalition forces will probably be less than 100,000,” he told Reuters in an interview.
“By the end of next year the overwhelming majority of coalition forces would have left the country and probably by the middle of 2008 there will be no foreign soldiers in the country.”
