<<< US military leaders are preparing to recommend changes in strategy on Iraq, America's top military officer says.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen Peter Pace said commanders were having their own dialogue and would make the changes that were needed.

President George W Bush is to meet members of a panel drawing up proposals for ending the conflict on Monday. >>>

Seems as if the Army is setting the agenda - and the complete opposite of what loony Bush was saying only last week.

Something has changed...

shame it was too late for Colin Powell... he was one of the moderates on the leadership team.

Colin Powell quit because he couldn;t stomach the rest of them anymore - and realised that to continue to "sell" their lies was doing himself harm long-term.

That was my point... it was a shame the one I would say was sane couldn't tough it out...
