#1 You mean the political generals? Just like the one's, no longer on duty, who criticized the Surge[tm]?

If you want to gauge real support, discreetly ask those of the commissioned and non-commissioned middle ranks. They're the ones who will bleed along with those they lead.

#2 Obama uses the military folks as props. During Obama's speech the props didn't look very happy.

#3 Cincinnatus,

Yep, the body language at the announcement was anything but support.

The WaPo is just a democratic campaign rag now. This administration may be the death of print journalism. When you read and comprehend the disconnect betweeen what the fishwrap says and what is going on in your own life, you understand the lie.

#4 The WaPo is just a democratic campaign rag now.

To be accurate, it was founded by a Democrat.

#5 Funny. I haven't read anything about The One being outmaneuvered...

Obama and his administration reminds me of the old joke about a football team getting its ass beat badly, when suddenly a nearby train blew a whistle making the opposing team leave the field thinking the game was over.

Four plays later, the team scored.

#7 I love the picture, only wish it showed his legs crossed as he famously does.

Ohh, and they forgot the skittles.

#8 Must agree wid #3 - although their comments were supportive of the proposed plan, they did not appear or look happy at all. IMO it looked like the Top Eggs were actually straining to keep a proper/straight face.

* TOPIX > OBAMA'S MILITARY MUNICH, i.e. the concessional pre-WW2 Confab that most Perts agree only expounded the road to war.

As indic by ....

* SAME, WORLD NEWS > CHINA WARNS US NOT TO BE "TROUBLEMAKER" WID NEW DEFENSE STRATEGY.
