The left-of-center portions of the 'sphere haven't spent much energy on the news that the US will reduce troop levels in Iraq from 138,000 to perhaps as low as 131,000. From the outside, this looks awfully cosmetic; Rumsfeld won't commit to a specific number of troops, so should "conditions on the ground" change, troop reductions may be fewer than 7,000.
Also, we've decided that capturing Osama bin Laden is a job we can outsource to NATO and the Afghani military. Awesome.
