Gates not on the same page as Dear Leader?

Josh Marshall:
"Gates lacking the urge to surge? This is interesting. In yesterday's New York Sun, Eli Lake reports that Sec Def Robert Gates is actually quietly opposing President Bush's plan to escalate the conflict by adding 30,000 to 50,000 more troops to crush the Mahdi Army and other Shi'a militias in and around Baghdad."

Update: Via Atrios and Editor&Publisher, AP says the soldiers aren't too hot on it either.

Sinfonian has more.
