Who's ignoring the commanders?

Dubya likes to defend his military decisions for his (so-called) plan for war against Iraq by saying that anyone that doesn't agree with him is going against the military commanders on the ground. (also, those not agreeing with him are also labeled as pro-terrorist, traitors, defeatists, or a myriad of other names, but that's not relevant to the upcoming Pace quote)

We all know that the US military recommended troop levels of 500,000 to 600,000 for an invasion in order to prevent an insurgency and keep peace. Dubya overrode that and made his own military plan that insured a robust insurgency that would drag out the war.

Now, given the current grim reality of dubay's war, the top military commander in the country could no longer stand silently by. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Peter Pace wants to cut the number of Americans forces in Iraq next year by nearly half.

Once again, dubya is ignoring the military experts in favor of his war plan. And it's just going so well so far, isn't it?
