I’ve written this post several times already. But as long as the president keeps fibbing, I’ll keep writing it. The president says the Congress is substituting its judgment for that of the uniformed military. Not true. The uniformed military was against the surge. By most measures, it still is. The president disagreed so he fired the senior military leadership on the ground in Iraq and replaced them with people — and there aren’t that many of them — who agreed with him.
