Iraqi National Security Adviser: US to Pull Out 60,000

Financial Times– Quite interesting:

raq’s national security adviser is predicting that as many as 60,000 US-led coalition troops will be withdrawn by the end of next year, with most of the rest leaving by the end of 2007…..

“We’re so confident that 30,000 coalition troops will go home in the first part of 2006 and another 30,000 in the second part of the year, and all by the end of 2007,” he said. “We’re not asking for a timetable but all the signals indicate we may be talking about the departure of most of the multinational forces by the end of 2007.”
