Wait, how many Iraqi troops?
According to the new National Strategy for Victory in Iraq:
"As of November 2005, there were more than 212,000 trained and equipped Iraqi Security Forces, compared with 96,000 in September of last year."
But in February of 2004, Secretary Rumsfeld said this:
"Today in February of 2004 there are over 210,000 Iraqis serving in the security forces."
So...
February 2004: more than 210,000
September 2004: 96,000
November 2005: 212,000
Roller coaster!
(I'm not the first to bring this up.)
