Rumsfeld sought changes in Iraq strategy (http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&u=/ap/20061203/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/us_iraq_83)
In a memo dated 11/6, Rumsfeld says:
Begin modest withdrawals of U.S. and coalition forces (start `taking our hand off the cycle seat') so Iraqis know they have to pull up their socks, step up and take responsibility for their country.
Dems who said the same thing at the same time were criticized here and by Republicans for wanting to "cut and run."
