Bait and switch

General Petraeus testifies before the Senate.

Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in the war in Iraq, said that he expects this fall to recommend additional cuts in U.S. troop levels there.

He said that he plans to make an assessment by September, when he would move to take over the U.S. Central Command, if he is confirmed for that position, as is expected.

Oh, whoopee. We've heard this song before. Essentially it would just be bringing troop levels down to what they were before the surge.

Not enough, General.
