3. what stands out the most for me is that General Petraus has said that the |
|
surge is very fragile and subject to revert back to violence (some success)
Also, that Bush asked for the surge even before the generals did
and also that he (Bush) decided to fire Rumsfeld without consulting Cheney (Cheney told Bush he disagreed with him)
and lots more

4. He said the surge worked because the US has a top secret |
|
new weapon or method of finding insurgent leaders. Woodward said whatever it is changes war as much at the tank or airplane. He gave no more information than that.
Woodward says all the generals were against the surge. Bush fired them all and installed Patraeus, the only one who believed in it.
Woodward said Bush really wanted to kill the enemy. He constantly demanded to know why more weren't killed. Bush also was upset that enemy casualty figures weren't announced. Bush said that gave the public the impression that American troops weren't effectively fighting back.
Bush knew things were going badly in Iraq but chose to lie to boost morale and keep the war effort going.

I'm recording it, but it is Tennis, not 60 Minutes. I wonder if it will be rebroadcasted....

10. Isn't that the truth. I'm really pissed. |
|
I hope someone puts up a YouTube. I tried the link on their website but it doesn't load and I have a feeling it's been scrubbed.
