<10:45 AM EST | 6:45 PM IRAQ | Outspoken General Upsets White House
Associated Press via WaPo:

Lt. Gen. William S. Wallace... ignited the ire of the White House by observing publicly that Pentagon war strategists had misunderstood the combativeness of Iraqi fighters. The miscalculation, he said, had stalled the coalition's drive toward Baghdad.
"The enemy we're fighting against is different from the one we'd war-gamed against," Wallace, commander of V Corps, told the New York Times and the Washington Post on Thursday.

Wallace's comments fueled the Bush administration's frustration with media coverage that focuses on why the conflict isn't over. The war, the White House says daily, is going well and on-time.



Media jumped on this like a duck on a Junebug. I wonder if Gen. Wallace will have any follow up comments.
