The military plans to withdraw the five extra combat brigades that were sent into Iraq early last year -- the so-called "surge" force -- by July, which will bring troop levels down from about 158,000 to 140,000.

What impact on the security situation? They've been surging over there for however long now, surging all over the place, 24/7 surging for months on end, and they don't know what the "security situation" freakin' is? All this surging and they don't know what kind of are you kidding me impact it's had? Do they think we're all a bunch of morons here?
Oh. I see.
