Bush and Rummy beam what they want Abizaid to say down to him every day
___You're being childishly sarcastic, but, yes, I believe he
clkears his public statements with his superiors.
Abazaid is a big boy, with his own public affairs office. I really doubt that he does, on the grounds that I think Rumsfeld and Bush have other things to do than clearing press statements, trying to run a war and all that. If Abazaid cannot figure out what to say and what not to say he shouldn't have 4 stars.
