WH flip-flopping on Iraq withdrawal plans

White House plays down Iraq withdrawal talk
WASHINGTON - The White House on Monday played down reports that the United States is planning sharp troop withdrawals from Iraq, beginning with the pullout of two combat brigades in September.

"I would caution very strongly against everybody thinking, `Well, they're going to pull two brigades out,'" White House press secretary Tony Snow said.

"Maybe they will, maybe they won't," he said. "It really does depend upon a whole series of things that we cannot at this juncture predict. I would characterize this more in terms of scenario building and we'll see how it proceeds."

Well, that sure sounds definite! "Maybe they will, maybe they won't"! Wow! That should certainly be the Dems version of "flip-flop" this year.
