George Bush wants to speed up the withdrawal of American combat troops from Iraq, a move that could help to quell the anti-war anxieties of voters before November's presidential election.

Concerns are also growing that Bush wants to release fighting forces before he leaves office, in the event of conflict with Iran.
Super. I guess they mean "when he declares war against Iran on news of Obama's rise in the polls."
Meanwhile, in a related story, 9 US soldiers have been killed in Bunnypants' other fiasco, Afghanistan.
