White House, Joint Chiefs At Odds on Adding Troops

quote[The Bush administration is split over the idea of a surge in troops to Iraq, with White House officials aggressively promoting the concept over the unanimous disagreement of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to U.S. officials familiar with the intense debate.

Sending 15,000 to 30,000 more troops for a mission of possibly six to eight months is one of the central proposals on the table of the White House policy review to reverse the steady deterioration in Iraq. The option is being discussed as an element in a range of bigger packages, the officials said.]


Why the fuck was the Iraq Study Group even commissioned?? It is wholly obvious that there is no intention of taking any of their advice.
