Hume: Clown Is Bringing The Troops Home, Time To ‘Declare Victory’ In Iraq.

You heard this from braindead media network...

On Fox News Sunday this morning, Brit Hume attacked Senate Democrats for “setting a goal that all U.S. combat soldiers withdraw from Iraq by December 15, 2008,” claiming that they have an “aura of unreality” because they’re trying “to force troop withdrawals, impervious to the fact that troop withdrawals have already begun”:

This whole debate has this aura of unreality about it, at least on the Democratic side, because they keep talking about events in Iraq that do not comport with the reality on the ground over there. You hear it again and again. You hear it in the attitude they have, you know, they’re going to force troop withdrawals, impervious to the fact that troop withdrawals have already begun. It’s happening.
NPR’s Juan Williams called Hume on his false spin, pointing out that the reduction in troops is only returning to pre-surge levels:

You’re making the case that troop withdrawals are starting now, but they’re troop withdrawals given that a surge was put in place this year that took troop withdrawals to a new high. So it’s not really much of a withdrawal at all.
