Bush's non-exit exit strategy
Not only is the "surge" not working, it's destabilizing Iraq. Yet military leaders say troops should stay for the long term.
By Joe Conason [2007-08-03]

  • Mullen vs. Petraeus

    At least Adm. Mike Mullen is not a venal, self-promoting liar like Gen. Petraeus.

    The pressure on the military brass must be so great. They know the situation is insolvent and that our occupation a steady stream of gasoline on the fire raging in the Islamic world.

    Yet they weigh the civilian leadership's lack of judgment against saving as many of their people as possible in an impossible situation.

    What a tragedy. The military is praised for their courage while the rearguard boys Bush and Cheney make decisions like drunks.
