Pentagon Gives Up; Hands War Over to Bush
Edited on Thu Aug-30-07 03:18 AM by djjimz
Mark it down. August 29, 2007. That’s the day the Pentagon announced it was done being responsible for Mr. Bush’s waste of lives, time, and money in Iraq. Tonight, the Defense Department has essentially told the President, "Thanks for the war, George, but it’s all you, from here on out, buddy."

The Angry Rakkasan did this great peice over at dailykos.

"You deal with it, tough guy. We’re done with your asinine war. Have fun facing the American public."

2. The two most important sentences in AR's post...
In a sign that top commanders are divided over what course to pursue in Iraq, the Pentagon said Wednesday that it won't make a single, unified recommendation to President Bush during next month's strategy assessment, but instead will allow top commanders to make individual presentations.

White said it suggests that the military commanders want to be able to distance themselves from Iraq strategy by making it clear that whatever course is followed is the president's decision, not what commanders agreed on.

=============Our only hope now? The military refuses orders...
