Huge internal struggle against attacking Iran

ARTICLE: 'In Iran Reversal, Bureaucrats Triumphed Over Cheney Team,' By Jay Solomon and Siobhan Gorman, Wall Street Journal, January 14, 2008, Pg. 1

This is what I've said for a while: the IC in revolt and enough of JCS and DOD under Gates, plus Fallon, to tip the balance away from strikes.

This is a huge, untold struggle. First article I see yet that gets at the scope.

Seems like a lot of folks were determined not to "go quietly" this time. There is something else here and it is something that we who have served, one way or another, often forget. The oath taken is not to the President. The oath taken is to "Support and Defend the Constitution of the United States, Against all Foes, Foreign and Domestic". The "Constitution" not the President. This is one of the many things that makes it better here. A "messy" democracy is always a better place in the long run.
