APID CITY, South Dakota (CNN) — Democrat Barack Obama accused Republican John McCain Saturday of not owning up to what Obama calls his "mistake" — saying that the U.S. has drawn troops down to pre-surge levels in Iraq

Umm...I read the article, and it appears to be a he-said-he-said kind of thing. Why is there no "fact" in the article beyond Obama's opinion that McCain is wrong?? I'm not saying McCain *didn't* make a mistake...I'm saying this article doesn't *prove* it, it's merely Obama's opinion on it. Anyone have the stats on the troop levels prior to the surge and what they are currently?

Interestingly enough, I do know that my brother's ship date to Iraq keeps getting pushed back further and further and he's beginning to lament that he's never going to get to go. (Yes, he WANTS to go).

The link isn't working now, but I swear I didn't see anything that indicated what the *truth* is.

I forgot to ask that question when I posted the link. What "truth" was he talking about.
