Default A Marine General's Opinion/Iraq

I thought my Canadian/European/Oz/Kiwi friends might find this article interesting. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/...tes/main618896

Amongst other things, General Zinni was the Commander of Centcom, the same job Schwarzkopf and Franks had and has a Bachelors Degree and two Masters Degrees including one in International Relations. No dummie Jarhead this guy.
It's a long article so I will let you folks digest it for a while before I comment.
Bill

Isn't usual when the politicians want something done, that they listen to the person that tells'em what they want to hear, instead of the guy that knows the job?

Hey Dave way to go. I'm afraid that the polatitions prefer a yes man to someone who speaks his mind.
