Now there's another leak by the LA Times:

WASHINGTON — The top U.S. commander in Iraq has drawn up plans that could lead to sharp reductions in American forces there as early as September and cut the number of combat brigades by nearly two-thirds by late 2007.

Army Gen. George W. Casey presented his plan to Pentagon leaders and President Bush in confidential briefings during a visit to Washington last week, an administration official said. Other officials emphasized that no final decision had been taken on troop levels, but said that the outline would probably serve as the basis for future planning.

"The recent conversations that have taken place are all designed to formulate our thinking in concert with the new Iraqi government," said a White House official, who requested anonymity because the plan remained classified.
