Seems difficult to find an exact number of US troops in Iraq, but here's a Nov, 2003 blurb to read while I search for something more difinitive:

"Pentagon officials say the new plan is aimed at adding manpower to improve security in the short term -- when troop numbers will increase from the current 130,000 to as many as 180,000 -- but also meeting President Bush's goal of shrinking the force to 100,000 by the middle of next year."
