A Lesson in Media Literacy

Check this out: the AP has the story as "Withdrawing From Iraq Would Be Difficult"; the Washington Post has "Mixon: U.S. Troop Reduction Could Begin in Jan. 2008". The articles reference the same general in Iraq, but the Post points to his indication that forces could withdraw in January while the AP says the general "added that it would be a mistake to begin any withdrawal [...] before January 2008." Interesting.
Also in the AP article, Robert Gates has this to say:

Gates added that the withdrawal plans would also depend on [...] whether the U.S. has any limited or permanent facilities in the country, the number of forces there and where they could be located.
None of those questions have been answered yet, he said.

So... apparently military bases in Iraq are still on the table despite 70% public opposition to the war...
