The options have been dubbed "Go Home," "Go Big" and "Go Longer" by insiders.
Sources who have been briefed on the review, led by Gen. Peter Pace, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the group had concluded there were not enough U.S. forces to "Go Big," sending in thousands more troops, the Post said.
"Go Home," the quick pullout option, was rejected as likely to push Iraq directly into a full-blown civil war, the Post said.
The Pentagon group devised a hybrid plan, "Go Long," which calls for cutting the U.S. combat presence combined with a long-term expansion of the training and advising of Iraqi forces, the newspaper said.

I was on a thread with that article last night...
BTW..I saw a clip of President Bush in Indonesia...and he was talking about getting results of discussions by groups, before he makes a decision..
BUT, luckily, IMHO...he singled out the MILITARY group, run by Peter Pace, when he spoke...which I hope means that he is giving most of his faith in them.
As I posted last night.....I just cannot believe that America would once again fall for having CONGRESS run our wars...like Vietnam.
As far as I am concerned, ISG group be damned...the only people that should be asked about HOW to win it the military..on the ground, in Iraq.
