MSNBC-White House Denies Reports of a Final Decision on Troop Levels
Edited on Mon Nov-09-09 07:44 PM by jenmito
Reported on MSNBC just now. Senior military officials tell NBC news the President has yet to receive final recommendations from his commanders in the field.

Robert Gibbs denied this in his press briefing today, too.

4. I think he should end it and just covertly kill the right people. It won't happen tho.
That assassination ring Dick had sounded promising. It beats troops. Didn't Israel do that after Munich?

5. How do things like this come about?
CBS announces one thing and MSNBC denies it. Battle of the leakers - but which ones and why? Conflict in the WH?

10. How can we speculate, when we don't know.
That's part of the media's problem....
they reach conclusions based on faulty sources.

9. Thanks, Cha...
but I doubt it will get to the Greatest. Too many people trust people's words OTHER than the WH's.
