Former Central Command chief Anthony Zinni denounces `ideologues' in Bush administration
Anthony Zinni's opposition to U.S. policy on Iraq began on the monsoon-ridden afternoon of Nov. 3, 1970. He was lying on a Vietnamese mountainside west of Da Nang, three rounds from an AK-47 assault rifle in his side and back. He could feel his lifeblood seeping into the ground as he slipped in and out of consciousness.
He had plenty of time to think in the following months while recuperating in a military hospital in Hawaii. Among other things, he promised himself that, "If I'm ever in a position to say what I think is right, I will. . . . I don't care what happens to my career."

It was Kidsforclark.org. HAHAHA!
LOL! And no doubt this information was yet another erroneous statement by Wes Clark.
Remember RightWing2?
Two points this one seems to ignore. He likes to defend Zinni's inexcusable actions regarding the USS Cole by claiming Zinni had other factors to consider, he was considering all the ramifications in a difficult situation, etc. Yet he denies the same qualifiers for the President and Secretary of Defence.
Secondly, he seems to also have a difficult time remembering his oath, the code of conduct and the UCMJ. His public PERSONAL accusations against the Secretary of Defense are in conflict with all three...but that doesn't seem to bother him.
I personally have a difficult time considering the qualifications of an planning officer or a pentagon flake that has so much time to dedicated to spreading accusations against the administration and Secretary of Defence on a public web site.
Sure do..... there are similarities in style.
The other fellow who was zotted appears familiar as well. I was thinking about a guy from Texas or Cali who was a musician by trade. I just don't recall the screen name as he has been gone for some time. He was certainly anti war and attacked his style was as repetitive as the zot- eee.
Ratcat, (I think)
