"A DANGEROUS HYPOTHETICAL"

That's what Bush called a question this morning about the possibility that he may impose an Iraq troop surge against the wishes of military leaders. The mere fact that Bush used a loaded word like "dangerous" makes me queasy. When was the last time even the whiff of military insubordination was in the air during wartime? Truman-MacArthur? Seems we're flirting with some uncharted territory--and it's all a bit chilling.
