"We have now brought home all five of the combat brigades and the three Marine units that were sent to Iraq as part of the surge. The last of these surge brigades returned home this month."
Except for the little fact that there are 147,000 troops on the ground in Iraq, which is about a division or so more troops than were there before the surge began, so this is just another one of Bush's fibs, lies and/or misleading statements. There were about 130,000 troops on the ground pre-surge. Go look it up.
Betcha that the reduction in combat tours from 15 months to 12 months won't apply to anyone on the ground.
