The troop rotation announcement identified only six combat brigades, including one from the National Guard, that will deploy over a two-year period beginning in mid-2006. Currently there are about 17 brigades in Iraq. Monday's announcement did not include any Marine Corps units, although they apparently will be added later.
This anouncement only speculates on rotation, not troop totals in Iraq. Isn't mid-2006 just before the 2006 congressional elections??? How convenient???
