Herbert Takes No Prisoners on the Cut & Run Meme

....and he's right.

But, I wonder, is it possible that General Casey's plan was totally unknown to the White House?

Could this be the ultimate mutiny.


Daily Kos: Herbert Takes No Prisoners on the Cut & Run Meme:

"The administration and its allies have been mercilessly bashing Democrats who argued that the U.S. should begin developing a timetable for the withdrawal of American forces. Republicans stood up on the Senate floor last week, one after another, to chant like cultists from the Karl Rove playbook: We're tough. You're not. Cut-and-run. Nyah-nyah-nyah!
But then on Sunday we learned that the president's own point man in Iraq, Gen. George Casey, had fashioned the very thing that ol' blood-and-guts Frist and his C-Span brigade had ranted against: a withdrawal plan.

Are Karl Rove and his liege lord, the bait-and-switch king, trying to have it both ways? You bet. And that ought to be a crime, because there are real lives at stake."
