Who Needs Generals and Admirals?
The Democratic congress has decided that all our military leaders don't know what the hell they are talking about.
While these officials said the precise wording of the measure remains unsettled, one draft would restrict American troops in Iraq to combating Al Qaeda, training Iraqi army and police forces, maintaining Iraq's territorial integrity and otherwise proceeding with the withdrawal of combat forces.
Isn't that what we are doing now? But the people who should make the decisions say we need more troops to complete it... not less. Our military is filled with a bunch of idiots who couldn't do anything for themselves, though, so maybe...

civilian politicians getting involved with military affairs... what a strange and new development.
Paul, I'm not shocked about this, I'm pissed. Why? Because people with half a brain know who should be making the decisions. "But they care about our troops." Then why are they undermining them and putting them at more danger by limiting their abilities.
Simply put, lives are at stake here, and the left doesn't seem to care.
Here, from a D:
"If you strictly limit a commander's ability to rotate troops in and out of Iraq, that kind of inflexibility could put some missions and some troops at risk," said Rep. Chet Edwards (D-Tex.), who personally lodged his concerns with Murtha.
