Success Allows Gradual Troop Cuts, Bush Says - New York Times

This is "declaring victory and dribbling the troops back home", a lesser variant of the policy suggested by so many, but it seems like a sign that we have reached the high tide of the deployment since we simply can't sustain these levels.

But this is not a sign that we are planning on leaving that accursed place.

And the claims of success are hollow, of course as investigation shows that everything Bush has claimed is actually not true.
