What ever happened to the "We'll Stand Down as they Stand Up" strategy, that Bush announced two (three?) years ago? I never even hear about that plan anymore. I think that was after the "just mopping up a few dead-enders" plan. And did it come before, or after, the "Operation Together Forward" plan?
And are we still in the "New Way Forward" plan? Was that before or after the insurgents were in their last throes? Or is it just part of the "surge" plan?
