"Son, all I've ever asked from my Marines is that they obey my commands as they would the Word of God..
We are here to help the Vietnamese people because inside every gook, there's an American, trying to get out."
(FYI: dialog from the film 'Full Metal Jacket')

ALL that matters is how this plays to the peasants in the stands and whether the timing of the withdrawal affects the elections.
Victory is at hand… A spring pull-out… Opps, it had to be delayed a bit, make it the summer – LATE summer - pull-out...
The victorious troops arrive just before the elections...
The fascists win again!!!
The white-trash goes wild…

Yeah.
"Mission Accomplished"
"End of major combat operations"
"Last throes of the insurgency"
Sounds like they've run out of hot sounding catch-phrases. Now sunk to a simplistic "we're making progress".., when clearly that is just as false as all the ones that preceeded it.
