I have yet to,after many decades of attempting to figure it out,understand why All anti-war nutters want us to disarm,flee,and/or do NOTHING in the face of evil,but they praise dictators,corrupt thugs,and traitors to the skies.

The anti-nuke cretins demanded that the USA give up ALL of its arms,but didn't givwe a damn,that the USSR,or China,or any-other such had them.

The anti-war lunatics have always roared that America is the aggressor,and worse,but kept/keeps mum about wholesale genocide,all kinds of terrorist activities,and what for all intents and purposes IS an announcement of WAR made upon America.

Since Jefferson sent what was to become the Marines after the Barbary Pirates,how come FR's anti-war warriors keep throwing up Washington's supposed isolationism?

I did the same. Facts are going to best the Zinni-ninnies' posts flooded,as thedy are,with "feelings" and nothing else.

You'll be even more surprised to learn that Zinni is a retired General, not Lieutenant General.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Or just end his career

You mean like Merritt Edson did following WWII? Yes.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Zinni was a soldier

Zinni was a Marine, not a soldier.

.. Gen. Tommy Franks, commander in chief of U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf, told the committee that the decision to refuel at the Yemeni port of Aden was made on sound military judgement.

"Leading up to the attack on USS Cole on October 12, we received no specific threat information for Yemen or for the port of Aden," he said. "Had such a warning been received, action would have been taken by the operating forces in response."

Franks was joined at the morning hearing by Walter Slocombe, the undersecretary of defense for policy, and Edward Walker, assistant secretary of state. The committee will hear closed-session testimony later in the day from Adm. Vern Clark, the chief of naval operations, and other defense officials. The same group testifies Wednesday afternoon to the House Armed Services Committee.
