CONYERS SUGGESTS GENERALS OUGHT NOT BE CONSULTED ON TROOP DEPLOYMENT DECISIONS

From the Hill:

Obama’s move to send in 30,000 troops to Afghanistan by the summer of 2010 has clearly disappointed Conyers.

He said he intends to press his case in writing soon.

“I want something so serious that he has to respond in writing, like I am responding in writing to him,” he said.

“Calling in generals and admirals to discuss troop strength is like me taking my youngest to McDonald’s to ask if he likes french fries,” Conyers said.

Many on the left have argued that military leaders routinely respond to crises by calling for more troops.

The Left would like to take Military decisions out of the hands of the Military.

But, who should we give such decision-making powers to?

How about the EPA.
