Hoyer criticizes Bush drawdown plan in Topeka visit
Topeka stop features Steny Hoyer faulting Bush Petraeus drawdown as inadequate. He argues 30,000 troop reduction next summer returns U S forces to pre surge levels and warns it could lock the U S into long Iraq conflict. Hoyer says a withdrawal timetable might push Iraqi factions toward political deals. Democrats lament vetoes and blocked bids to alter war course.

Troop levels likely to remain above 130000 in Iraq
Washington reports that more than 130000 U S troops may stay in Iraq next summer after the withdrawal of five combat brigades. Petraeus told Congress he would recommend 15 combat brigades remain, while officials note could total 140000 depending on brigade size and support needs. Democrats plan next week to consider faster withdrawal proposals.
