It looks like Bush has decided to file 13 two Generals who may disagree with his plan to increase the troop level in Iraq.

General Abizaid and General Casey have lost favor with the President and will be replaced with those that agree more fully with his plan to increase the troops in Iraq, both Marine and Army to fulfill his plan to gain control and end the violence for the new democratic state.

An example of a politician trumping the military leaders who may know best?

Time will tell.

Reminds me of Apocalypse Now

In 1964 he returned
from a tour of advisory command in Vietnam and things started to
slip. The report to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Lyndon Johnson
was restricted. Seems they didn't dig what he had to tell them.
Life imitates art?

Does anyone remember Dr. Strangelove?

When Gen. Ripper quotes Clemenceau "War is too important to be left to the Generals."
