You: -- Military Commanders’ Decisions in Fallujah Overridden by Politicians

Me: -- The military doesn't take orders from Mr. Bremer.

You: -- They take orders from who tells them to cooperate with Bremer.

Me: -- The Marines take orders from the CIC... which makes your screaming headline on this post inacurate, misleading, hyperbolic and selfserving.

Marines don’t fight this way. Politicians fight this way. Now it's being reported. The world knew it anywhay, whether you accept it or not.

The Marines fight when so ordered by the CIC who happens to be a politician. Same as it ever was.

Thanks for the ping.

You follow the order of Mr. Bremer when the CIC’s word is filtered down to you that you cooperate with him. If his wishes morph into your orders, whatever the path, you take orders from Bremer.
