Excellent point!
This military already has a plan to go to 92k in '06. The "withdrawal plan" is already in place.
You're right in pointing out that the real desperation here is on the the part of democrats who want to take credit for the draw down, and who need to establish the idea of failure in the mind of the public. If they don't, then '06 and '08 will be a disaster for them.
The MSM is, of course, playing along with this.
