Even now, at this late date, bald lies

Duhbya's fuzzy math:

• Start with 130,000 to 135,000 troops
• Escalate by adding 34,000 to 39,000 more (not 30,000 - pffft) to a total of 169,000
  
• Make a big media splash about bringing some home
• Bring home (maybe!) 25,000
• Keep 144,000 in Iraq

It is a joyous day when the media prove they can actually do elementary arithmetic.
