Will Bush listen to the Army Chief of Staff, or just the generals who tell him what he wants to hear?

Question

The Army Chief of Staff says the surge is not working, it's weakening our military, and we need to start withdrawing from Iraq...
------------

Viewing the matter from a different perspective, the Joint Chiefs of Staff are eager to reduce the troop totals as soon as possible because they see worrying signs of strain on troops and their families.

The Army chief of staff, Gen. George Casey, has a unique perspective on this because he was Petraeus's predecessor for 2 1/2 years and he is openly skeptical of Petraeus's theory that sending extra U.S. troops to Baghdad would create the conditions for Iraqi leaders to agree on power-sharing deals.

On Thursday Casey said he remains convinced that a smaller U.S. force would "cause Iraqis to do more, faster" — a central part of the argument that a bigger U.S. force tends to deepen the Iraqis' dependency and weaken the incentive for them to solve their underlying political differences.
