The next "last big push"

Well the Generals were for it before they were against it before they were for it;
Generals: More troops needed in Iraq Yes it appears that the transition to Bush administration sycophants in the military is complete.

WASHINGTON — Top U.S. military commanders in Iraq have decided to recommend a "surge" of fresh American combat forces, eliminating one of the last remaining hurdles to proposals being considered by President Bush for a troop increase, a defense official familiar with the plan said Friday.

The approval of a troop increase plan by top Iraq commanders, including Gen. George W. Casey Jr. and Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, comes days before Bush unveils a new course for the troubled U.S. involvement in Iraq. Bush still must address concerns among some Pentagon officials and overcome opposition from Congress, where many Democrats favor a blue-ribbon commission's recommendation for the gradual withdrawal of combat troops.

And this is a joke:

But the recommendation by commanders in Iraq is significant because Bush has placed prime importance on their advice. The U.S. command in Iraq decided to recommend an increase of troops several days ago, prior to meetings in Baghdad this week with Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, the defense official said.

Yes the word came down from on high that "you're with us or against us" and all good lap dogs know what that means.

This "last big push" will indeed be the "last big push". The military will be in such a sorry state after this debacle that there won't be another push left. The scary part is what happens if we need a push somewhere else?
