Troop Levels to Remain

Not a surprise:

The briefing [by Gen. Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker] took place on the day when the 4,000th American military death of the war was reported and just after the invasion’s fifth anniversary.

But it now appears likely that any decision on major reductions in American troops from Iraq will be left to the next president.

And we know what McCain will decide...

In other news, the article also notes that the administration is dropping the term "pause" to describe keeping troop levels as high as they're at. Isn't it great when the vocabulary changes, but the policy remains exactly the same?
