You don't hear "commanders on the ground" much anymore

Front page, so you saw it, but I thought it deserved highlight.
The Bush administration is split over the idea of a surge in troops to Iraq, with White House officials aggressively promoting the concept over the unanimous disagreement of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to U.S. officials familiar with the intense debate.

There's alot in this article. Read it deep.

  • Great article. I liked the new study group report. Another rebuke.

    Funny how on the one hand you have the point which you highlighted, and then you have Tony Snow. Same day, same paper:

    White House: No Fight With Joint Chiefs

  • Yeah.

    Tony Snow also said yesterday that Colin Powell saying, "we're losing" and Bush saying "we're winning" really represents the same thing.

    For whatever you think of Scott McClellan he didn't lie.
