White House: No fight with Joint Chiefs

By ROBERT BURNS, AP Military Writer 17 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - The White House said Tuesday that increasing U.S. troops in
Iraq is an option under consideration and denied that there are differences with the Joint Chiefs of Staff over that idea.


White House press secretary Tony Snow emphasized that no decisions have been made about changing U.S. policy in Iraq.

"There's an assumption that people have been given marching orders, and at this point, the president is asking folks to take a look at a number of things," Snow said.

"I think people are trying to create a fight between the president and the Joint Chiefs when one does not exist," Snow said at a White House briefing. He would not disclose if Bush was leaning one way or the other about increasing troops in Iraq or a new direction in U.S. policy. According to some accounts, the White House is pushing the idea of a surge in troops and the Joint Chiefs oppose it.

The White House has said Bush will announce his decisions in January.

He talked about his sources at the Pentagon. Shades of Murtha who started speaking for the military because they couldn't come out and publicly say things?

I sure do believe everything that george w bush & cabal say uh huh yep coz I be a rightwingnut stupid motherfucking freeper.

NOT.

for any members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff having to quit their jobs suddenly for whatever reason, sex scandal, 'more time with the family', etc.

In other words, the military can't possibly oppose the plan because they don't even know what the mission is yet!

How could they not know what the mission is by now???

I think they do know A mission, this plan just doesn't fit into it.

Ever see someone show up for a meeting completely unprepared and stammer and joke to kill time? That sounds like what they are doing.

They don't know the mission because the mission changed, from the other mission that they never really stated.

'in the ranks' as it were. IF tony snowjob wasn't such a 'true believer' he might be able to lie somewhat better than he has been i think. his 'passion' (read: genuine rage) is just too desperate to be believed.
