This has been pulled at least once today. You might want to make a comment about how you feel about this...or it's gonna go bye-bye.

He has those RAT talking points down to an art form.

[Anthem]

Here's a ping for you guys.

Our military is completely consumed, so were there a real threat - thankfully, there is no real threat to the U.S. in the world but were there one, we couldn't confront it. Right now, that may not be a bad thing, because that keeps Bush from trying something with Iran or with Venezuela.

Utter nonsense.

[Rummyfan]

Is this guy for real? What does he suggest we do after he tears apart everything we have done?

[glorgau]

CBS wouldn't be working with this guy if he wasn't a Bush hater. Just another guy with a book to sell.

Who is Eric Haney?

[TexasCajun]

Movie title: "When Heros Turn Democrat!"

[frogjerk]

Eric Haney thank you for your service to our country in the past but right now you are giving aid and comfort to the enemy of the United States.

Have we found David Hackworth's replacement now that he is gone?

[Sam Cree]

Whatever the merits of his other arguments, it cannot be argued that removing Saddam was not a favor to the world. Only problem is, the world didn't support it, but instead has in large part given support to the terrorists.

We had lots of credibility that's why we were spared on 9/11.......oh wait. They didn't love us before 9/11 after all, did they?

The international community loved us too. The French, the Germans, the Canadians....oh wait, they didn't love us before or after 9/11 did they?

[TChris]

There are lots of guys who may be tactically brilliant, but haven't a clue about politics and a strategic overview. This dude is living proof.

. The reasons of this administration for taking this nation to war were not what they stated. (Army Gen.) Tommy Franks was brow-beaten and ... pursued warfare that he knew strategically was wrong in the long term. That's why he retired immediately afterward. His own staff could tell him what was going to happen afterward.

Hmmm, funny, Tommy Franks makes no such comments in his bio. and is in fact highly supportive and proud of the effort in Iraq. And he sure managed to be a vocal supporter of the president's during the 04 campaign. I always love when someone claims to speak for someone else, contradicting what they've publically said themselves and all based on some supposed "insider access" at the Pentagon.

And this guy's flip remarks about torture being Cheney's deal and that the US "fomented civil war" in Iraq as if the US hasn't been the party trying to bring all sides together and his inability to blame the terrorsts for that shows us the partisan perspective he's operating from.

Whatever this guy's military bona fides, and forgive me if becoming a Hollywood consultant doesn't impress me that somehow he's an unbiased source, being a former military guy doesn't in any way preclude someone from being a partisan leftist political hack, e.g. Wesley Clark, Paul Hackett, etc.

By the way, this article doesn't make one mention as to whether this guy has actually been to Iraq or not to see the situation for himself. And why does the media give this snert all kinds of attention while ignoring the legions of military people saying we are doing the right thing in Iraq?

[justshutupandtakeit]

So this guy is a jerk too. I predict "The Eunuch" is going down in flames.

[King Prout]

We have probably fomented internecine war in the Muslim world between the Shias and the Sunnis

that is not necessarily a bad thing

[ansel12]

While everyone in special ops is intelligent and usually conservative, there are a lot of very strong personalities, and some diversity, and they are not the type to be shy about their opinions when off duty.

[Flavius Josephus]

I thought Hackworth died.

[petro45acp]

Greatful for the man's service, but there is nothing, NOTHING as disheartening as a military liberal! Makes me cringe every time I hear one of these guys spout off as if they don't remember their oath, don't remember service, and don't remember loyalty. Thank God his impact now is on television and nothing important.
