Can you imagine what the situation in Iraq would be like if we had Grant, Sherman, Lee, Longstreet, Stewart, and Jackson over there! Or how about 'Black Jack' Pershing, Patton, Bradley, and McAuliffe.

Although General Petraeus is kicking tail and taking names, and Tommy Franks did an outstanding job with Afghanistan and the initial push into Iraq, so I guess you could say that we do have our own versions of these great leaders.

Ah, General Tommy Franks. Can’t fault him. He went to H.S. with Laura Bush at Robert E. Lee High School in Midland Texas. (As a side note, when the lee H.S. Band marched in Bush’s inaugural Parade in D.C., they were told to leave their Confederate Battle Flags at home).
