White House denies dispute with Joint Chiefs
The White House said Tuesday that increasing U.S. troops in Iraq is an option under consideration and denied that there are differences with the Joint Chiefs of Staff over that idea.
White House press secretary Tony Snow emphasized that no decisions have been made about changing U.S. policy in Iraq.
"There’s an assumption that people have been given marching orders, and at this point, the president is asking folks to take a look at a number of things," Snow said.
