Do the generals in Iraq play politics with Obama?
Technically, the military officers in Iraq are going to try to present themselves as overtly apolitical, as they should, but then they may also leak, like this in the NYTimes, which is a bit more political.
You don't get promoted to general without knowing a little bit about political play.
U.S. military leaders likely will tell Democrat Barack Obama during his coming Iraq visit that his plan to withdraw most American forces by mid-2010 is possible — but risks undoing recent security gains.

In this Administration, you aren't even considered for promotion unless you are thoroughly familiar with the script.

True, especially at the top in theater promotion spots, but even separate from this administration, to climb to general, you have to do alot of politics.
