From the Washington Post:
...the Joint Chiefs think the White House, after a month of talks, still does not have a defined mission and is latching on to the surge idea in part because of limited alternatives, despite warnings about the potential disadvantages for the military...Meanwhile, the former Chief of the Joint Chiefs (and former Secretary of State), Colin Powell, doubts the plan will work. He thinks the Army is over-extended and "about broken."
The way I see it, this plan is too little too late. The President and his former Defense Secretary were criminal in their planning of the war. As a matter of fact, it can be (and should be) argued that they were criminal in going to Iraq in the first place.
