"President Bush has refused to set any dates for the beginning of a troop level reduction, insisting that the decision will be made based on the judgments of commanders in the field."

Go read the U. S. Constitution, Mr. President.

It places all military decisions in the hands of Congress.

Not most. All.

(Notice I didn''t advise him to reread it. I''m certain he has never read that document in his life.)

"The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is expected to suggest a reduction in the U.S. troop level in Iraq next year by almost half, according to a Friday report in the Los Angeles Times."


I wonder if any "political figures in Washington" will start second-guessing him on this ?

Especially one who would lose face unless his successor is the one who pulls the troops out of Iraq.

"... a move that could pit the top military commander against the thinking of many senior White House officials as to how the Iraq war should be carried out."

He must be ready to retire, because he is now officially toast.

"give his advice to Mr. Bush privately, instead of making a formal report."

No paper trail. Plausible deniability...

"... a senior military official does contradict the Bush administration''s stated strategy of keeping U.S. force levels high until there are signs of political reconciliation in Iraq."

Which can never happen as long as the troops are there, either Bush proves once again to be a complete idiot, or thinks that we all are.
