Skelton proposes Iraq withdrawal formula
Article Abstract:
Representative Ike Skelton (Democrat-Missouri) has proposed a formula for the American troop withdrawals from Iraq, which would provide a measurable sense of progress in the region. Skelton's formula states that for every three Iraqi brigades rated fully capable for duty, one American brigade could be deployed out of Iraq and this three-for-one formula is based on reasons both of quality and quantity.
