More on the surge

Well perhaps this won't be as easy as the Bush administration thinks (in as much as they actually think about things). Seems the joint chiefs have a problem with the surge as reported by the Post.

This seems to really hit home:

But the Joint Chiefs think the White House, after a month of talks, still does not have a defined mission and is latching on to the surge idea in part because of limited alternatives, despite warnings about the potential disadvantages for the military, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the White House review is not public.

Gee imagine the Bush administration not having a clearly defined mission. After all they haven't had one up until now why start.

Also a great opinion piece from Eugene Robinson. I agree completely with what he says.

It should be really interesting to see how Bush sells this to the public.
