Calamitous failure
Neocon "think" tank in charge of our Iraq military policy, not the generals --
Up to now, little has been heard about where the surge idea came from. But according to a report in the National Examiner last week, it was not dreamed up by the Bush administration. It came from the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), the leading neocon thinktank, which is warmly regarded by [Squinty McStupid, because they do the "thinking" for him]...

[L]ast December the AEI set about stiffening Mr Bush's resolve in the face of wimpish proposals from the Iraqi Study Group. The National Examiner's story continues:
A group of military experts at the American Enterprise Institute, concerned that the US was on the verge of a calamitous failure in Iraq, almost singlehandedly convinced the White House to change its strategy.
They banded together at AEI headquarters in downtown Washington early last December and hammered out the surge plan during a weekend session ... Then came trips to the White House by AEI military historian Frederick Kagan, retired Army Gen John Keane and other surge proponents.
More and more officials began attending the sessions. Even Vice President Dick Cheney came.
I bet he did.
"Ah! Ahh! Ahhhhh!"
