Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

"what about the fact that your boy Bush lied?... that's not exactly the "christian" thing to do

Bush: "...our commanders tell me they have the number of troops they need to do their job.”

"U.S. military officers in the western Al Anbar province say they’ve repeatedly asked for more troops, but commanders in Baghdad and the Pentagon have denied their requests.""

Either you are totally ignorant about the chain of command or you just once again (as usual) would rather twist what is said so that you can attack. Privates, sargeants, junior grade officers, company commanders, battalion commanders etc. do not report to the President of the United States nor do they make recommendations to him about what is needed in the way of weapons, manpower, or anything else. Only the area commanders make such recommendations (through the chain of command) and those officers have not requested additional troops.

President Bush did not lie -- alex lied.
