Bush's War Czar Says Knollenberg Is Wrong on the Surge

Even Bush's War Czar, Lt. General Lute, knows the surge was a bad idea.

But Joe Knollenberg continues to support the surge.

Bush's War Czar said

Bush and Knollenberg kept telling the American people that our troops were training the Iraqis.

Bush and Knollenberg kept telling the American people to "Stay the Course".
