Rowan Scarborough reports that the right-wing think tank, the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), was behind the "surge" plan, but much more alarming was "the AEI approach won out over plans from the Pentagon and U.S. Central Command. The two Army generals then in charge of Iraq had opposed a troop increase."

Yes, a conservative think tank "won out" over the government's Pentagon and U.S. Central Command. Need more proof partisan ideology and politics drives everything with this administration?
