Maybe the withdrawal plans have something to do with Iran. Plans to hit Iran? Or fear that they might not be able to get out of Irac if US hits Iran?

: for a massive and quick U.S. military evacuation from Iraq

: expecting a major insurgent offensive against U.S. forces

: will be airlifted by plane and helicopters to U.S. Navy
: ships in the Gulf, Kuwait, Jordan, and Germany.

: British forces in Basra have also drawn up evacuation plans.

: With Anbar province already lost to the insurgents and much of
: the country in turmoil, the failure of the United States to
: evacuate in the face of an all-out insurgent offensive
: could result in a number of U.S. forces being taken
: prisoner by insurgent forces. And with the recent decision
: of Congress to permit torture of enemy prisoners, the fate
: of a large number of U.S. military and civilian prisoners
: in insurgent hands has Pentagon officials extremely
: worried.

: If you have family or friends deployed or planning to - in
: Iraq or Afghanistan - think about this. Hmmm, maybe this
: has something to do with all those ship deployments in the
: Persian Gulf? (shrug)
