Bush to Generals: Drop Dead

Excerpt:
When Bush lies to the American people tonight, he will be ordering his top military brass
to take action they initially resisted and advised against.

Bush talks frequently of his disdain for second-guessing his commanders. "It's important to trust
the judgment of the military when they're making military plans," Bush told The WaHoPo last month.
"I'm a strict adherer to the command structure."

But as the situation in Iraq has deteriorated and public support for the war has dropped, Bush has
pushed back against his top military advisers and the commanders in Iraq: He has fashioned a plan
that adds up to 20,000 troops to the 132,000 U.S. service members already on the ground.


Bush knows more about how to fight a war than the lifetime soldiers.
Did he get this military expertise in Mexico in 1972 with a nose full of flaky cocaine?

How many thousands more will die while the Little Dictator plays "Mission accomplished" again?
