The Washington Post has an article today saying that the Joint Chiefs are unanimously opposed to sending a surge of an additional 15-30,000 troops to Iraq. Maybe they've been reading Cenk Uygur too. Maybe the new Defence Secretary could get the White House to do so too.
The International Crisis Group, a Brussels-based crisis monitoring group that includes several former U.S. officials, released a new Iraq Study. Apparently it says "the Iraqi government and military should not be treated as 'privileged allies' because they are not partners in efforts to stem the violence but rather parties to the conflict, it says. Trying to strengthen the fragile government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki will not contribute to Iraq's stability, it adds. Iraq's escalating crisis cannot be resolved militarily, the report says, and can be solved only with a major political effort."
So I guess we have to wait till January to see just how stupid Bush can be.
