“We have laid out a plan that will take us through the end of July, and it will result in the reduction without replacement of about one-quarter of our combat forces.”

Al Qaeda is defeated.

But Iran still needs to be locked down in order for this thing to be wrapped up. They're backing off, but I don't trust them for a minute. They want Iraq and they want it bad.
