Time For Us To Go

Here's a Fox headline and sub-headline for a story on Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki:

Al-Maliki: Iraq Defeated Terrorism: Iraqi prime minister says recent crackdowns
against Sunni extremists and Shiite militias have lead to their defeat.

Doesn't that mean the U. S. can withdraw its troops before the 2008 elections. Given that the terrorists and the militias have been defeated, we should be able to withdraw with no threat of an al-Qaeda takeover, no threat of a genocidal bloodbath, and no threat of Iraq becoming part of the Iranian sphere of influence.

If President Bush really wants to help John McCain win, he would start withdrawing American troops now.
