At a briefing with reporters today, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow peppered with questions on two sensitive issues: Is the president really ready to send thousands of more troops to Iraq, and what does he think of former Secretary of State Colin Powell's apparent skepticism about such a plan?

Snow denied that the president had made up his mind about the troop gains, adding, "I would warn people away from confident assumptions about what's going on." But he certainly didn't shoot down the idea, either: "Everybody -- I know you all want to know surge or no surge, the answer is, no answer."

He also tried to paint a picture of Powell and the president on pretty much the same page, saying flatly, "I don't see any big disagreement." He parsed Powell's Sunday TV interview, saying the White House did not agree with him that Iraq was in a "civil war" -- and even contested that Powell had suggested that the U.S. was currently "losing" in Iraq or lacked troops to enact a major buildup.

Snow also said, referring to the Iraqis, "If the government said, we want you to leave, we would leave."
