Troop Withdrawal Roulette

Hey, the White House doesn't want to plug in troop numbers in the latest Afghanistan speech.

President Obama’s Wednesday speech on his promised July drawdown of the 100,000 US troops in Afghanistan is drafted. But on circulating copies, there are still blank spaces where the final troop figures will go. Whether that’s because the White House is still in the midst of internal debate – or whether it’s a fear of leaks – remains the subject of speculation, but guessing precisely what those figures will be was insider Washington’s favorite parlor game Tuesday.

So what do you think? What will the high, medium, and low numbers look like? 10,000 by year's end? 20,000? 50,000? You comments / guesses / crapshoots-in-the-dark below!
