We're talking about 2006, 7, 8... that's three years. And I believe that a lot of very good things can happen in three years in Iraq that ideally would allow us to remove every American soldier who's there today.
Lieberman on July 6:
So I am confident that the situation is improving enough on the ground that by the end of this year, we will begin to draw down significant numbers of American troops, and by the end of the next year more than half of the troops who are there now will be home.
Lieberman on July 19:
The three-term U.S. senator said he believes a complete withdrawal is possible by late 2007 or early 2008.
Lieberman yesterday:
SCHIEFFER: Are you now saying it's time to start drawing down the troops
there, Senator?
Sen. LIEBERMAN: No, and that's absolutely the point I'm making.
But, hey, the Bullshit Moose supports him, and he's always supported the best - Ralph Reed, the Heritage Foundation, John McCain...
