Powell & Senior Repub Senators: TROOP SURGE DEAD ON ARRIVAL IN CONGRESS
Advice from Powell

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who has gone public with criticism of President Bush's Iraq policy, is caustic in private about the proposed ''surge'' of 30,000 additional U.S. troops.
Powell noted that the recent congressional delegation to Iraq headed by Sen. John McCain heard from combat officers that they wanted more troops.

''The colonels will always say they need more troops,'' the retired general says. ''That's why we have generals.''

A footnote: Senior Republican senators are trying to get word to the president that any troop surge would be dead on arrival in Congress.

3. "Does his wife shave him...?" LOL...
:rofl: That quisling, Powell, should have thought about that when he was bloviating about those stupid trailers and waving those drawings around (I don't remember there ever being actual PHOTOS).

Powell should be at the Hague with the rest of them. And they can tack Mai Lai onto the charges while they're at it, IMO. x(

5. Surge DOA
I wonder which Repubs are trying to tell Little Boots he's not going to get his way. I wonder if we'll start to see the drunken frat boy crack.
