WASHINGTON - President Bush went to the Pentagon's "Tank" on Friday to meet with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and hear their concerns about the burdens placed on the military by the current troop level in Iraq.The meeting inside the Joint Chiefs' secure conference room was the latest part of a wide-ranging assessment of the situation in Iraq ahead of the White House's mid-September report on progress there and congressional testimony by Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Baghdad.The Pentagon-based leaders of America's military branches have been at odds with commanders in Iraq, who are pushing to extend the current "surge" of U.S. troops until at least April and are said to oppose any substantial troop reduction throughout 2008.
