Pace belies the claim the military determines troop levels.
BAGHDAD - "The U.S. military is weighing new directions in Iraq, including an even bigger troop buildup if President Bush thinks his "surge" strategy needs a further boost, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Monday."
So much for Bush's claim. They are both saying the other guy is doing it, not them.
(Note to True Believers - this did not happen. It was reported on MSNBC, not Fox.)
