Getting close to that 5% number.. Economy is a lagging indicator, especially that housing indicator, especially if rates continue up.

End of the Iraq occupation is going to be bad news for the economy. Iraq and defense buildup is about half of the GDP. With US drawing down to a smaller presence in Iraq (no full pullout), the oil states in the Middle East will have to divert more funds to their defense and to the Sunni resistance in Iraq.

Who said we are pulling out ? Thats great news, but I haven't heard anybody talk about that. The Dems want us not to escalate troop levels, but it looks like Bush is going on his own.

Bush's "surge" is a given since no one has the kahunas to cut troop funding. But by end of 2007 it will be clear as bell if the change in strategy has worked. Succeed -or- fail, either way the troop levels will be on the way down by end of 2007,
