Dumbya is expected to receive a briefing today from senior military officers on next steps for the Iraq war. There is significant unease among the most senior officers about the course of the war and the damaging effect it is having on the military. Coupled with the release this week of a draft report from GAO showing Iraq not meeting 15 of 18 political and security benchmarks, the Bush Assministration is back on its heels playing defense. Will Dumbya listen to his generals? No, he'll cherry-pick the information that supports his views and discard the rest. This will be a preview of the "Petraeus" report in a couple of weeks.
