MILITARY -- DISCONTENT WITH COMMANDER IN CHIEF: The Christian Science
Monitor reports a "discernible countercurrent among U.S. troops in Iraq
- those who blame President Bush for entangling them in what they see
as a misguided war
(http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0921/p02s02-usmi.html) ." Three factors working against Bush are "the Iraq war, Defense
Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's tense relationship with the Army, and...Senator
Kerry's pledge to add 40,000 new troops and relieve an overstretched
force."
