I was referring to the military decisions being discussed, specifically what has transpired in Falluja. POTUS wears the hat of both CinC and Statesman. As has been pointed out by others, it is correct that DoD implements, and does not set, policy.

I don't know what the marines are thinking. but what has happened in Fallujah is not out of line with their small nations doctrines. I gues they can kill 'em/kiss'em/ or both.

All this, it's the CIA, it's the DOS, it's the DOD or Bremer or the ICG, is BS.
