Bush ditches top brass in Iraq rethink

US PRESIDENT George Bush is overhauling his top diplomatic and military team in Iraq as his Administration scrambles to complete its new war policy in time for a speech to the nation next week.

But the White House is struggling to overcome deep differences among advisers over the deployment of additional US troops and whether Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Government can be effective.

With significant policy details left to be worked out this weekend, officials familiar with the debate say the Administration is moving ahead on personnel changes.

It is set to announce that army Lieutenant-General David Petraeus, who gained fame for his early success in training Iraqi troops and securing a volatile city in northern Iraq, will replace General George Casey as commander of the multinational forces in Iraq, officials say

13. I wonder how Blitzer responded to Boxer?

Did he look very serious and nod? Did he say, "Nuh uh!" Or did he say, "Thank you, Sen. Boxer. After the break, did sharks become amphibious and devour Natalee Holloway? We'll talk to a scientist from the American Enterprise Institute who thinks that's just what happened."

to go thru several Generals until he came up with Grant, therefore GWB is clearly Lincoln.

16. And Bush pulls it off right in front of our eyes, Bush listens to comments on the ground in Iraq..

Bush clearly stated; "it's my way or the highway" and Dems seem powerless to challenge his attitude
