This from AP's Anne Flaherty today:

"U.S. forces in Iraq should be reduced significantly, according to a new study on Iraq's security forces that inflamed debate in Congress on how quickly that can happen without hurling the country into chaos."

"The report, authored by a 20-member panel comprised mostly of retired senior military and police officers, said the massive deployment of U.S. forces and sprawl of U.S.-run facilities in and around Baghdad has given Iraqis the impression that Americans are an occupying, permanent force."

.......

Now where would the Iraqis ever get THAT idea?!? Oh--that's right. We ARE an occupying, permanent force.
