Months before General David Petraeus offers his scheduled Congressional testimony on Iraq, Defense Secretary Defense Robert Gates and the Bush Administration have already delivered their verdict about security conditions in Iraq. According to them, Iraq will not be secure enough five months from now to permit any more than the ‘surge’ forces to be withdrawn. That means that there will be the same number of U.S. troops in Iraq in August 2008 as were there in August 2006.

The usual excuse is that Bush is trying to stay on the good side of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the spearhead of the Jewish lobby which has immense clout in US media and financial circles.
