Capitol Hill Blue: Role reversal: Bush wants war, Pentagon urges caution
"We have a dangerous role reversal here" one Pentagon source tells Capitol Hill Blue. "The civilians [nb: rumsfeld and regime] are urging war and the uniformed officers are urging caution."
...
An angry Rumsfeld, who backs Bush without question, is said to have told the Joint Chiefs to get in line or find other jobs. Bush is also said to be "extremely angry" at what he perceives as growing Pentagon opposition to his role as Commander in Chief.
"The President considers this nation to be at war," a White House source says," and, as such, considers any opposition to his policies to be no less than an act of treason."
