What I Was Wrong About, Episode MCRXVVQIIIII: Troop Levels and Time-Tables

Well, too busy to find the links now, but you've already seen the stories. It's looking like the Iraqis want a time-table for withdrawal; it also looks like basically everybody including the administration is starting to talk about drawing down troop levels in the relatively near future.

Assuming--and fervently hoping--that these folks know more than I do, it looks like there's decent reason to believe that I'll end up having been wrong about both these things (I guessed that more troops were necessary and opposed a public time-table for withdrawal).

Of course it's not clear that we're really going to do these things and it's not clear yet that they're the smart things, but seems like that's where the smart money is now.
