Retreat

Looks like the military is simply punting in Iraq.

After pulling out abruptly from Fallujah, we've now apparently released about half of the prisoners from Abu Ghraib.

Right -- we just figured out they didn't need to be interred.

But (all NYT sources)...

Around Baghdad, there was speculation Sunday that armed fighters returning from Najaf and nearby Kufa could spark a surge in violence here in the capital.

The Iraqi Prime Minister;

"What happened in Fallujah and other places will not be repeated."

The Army Brigadier General in charge of operations in Najaf;

"Softer stance? We took a hard line with these guys and killed over a thousand."

As Bush has said, in the long run history will tell all of us...
