Oh! The right to say something stupid, overrides the need to be silent if you have nothing constructive to say.
I have had enough of it. Just because this guy does not believe in pre-emptive strikes and attempted nation building that is definitely in our national interests, does not give him the right to write the barf down and make money to the detriment of our military! OUR KIDS!
General Barfsalot can wait until we either finish the job or give it up to rail against the Bush admin and to hawk his crummy book!
But hell no! He joins the now long list of perverts who publish their garbage and call it free speech!
I have come almost to the point of going postal about this! The country that I know and defended is not going to tolerate this crap lying down.
I repudiate this man and those like him who do this. They collectively do more damage to this country than a thousand enemies. They are despicable.
Why obviously they are military geniuses...they hate President Bush.
Have you ever noticed how it's only the people who thought candidates such as pat buchanan was the best choice for president give any kind of credit at all to these sorry generals.
This isn't some dirty hippie yelling into a microphone. This is the former commander of CentCom saying that he thinks that the lead-up to the war and it's aftermath were poorly planned and led by a group of idealists. He apparently doesn't want us to pull out early (which shows more spine than some 'pubs I've heard recently) or lose. Not having read the book, I can't comment on his counter-plan.

You know, change a few names around and the last few paragraphs could have been written by an over-zealous anti-Bush DU'er.
You're taking criticism of the war plan to mean that Gen. Zinni either wants troops to die, or wants the US to fail. You're taking this way too personally. Calm down and read the entire interview. Gen. Zinni is as angry as you are, but for slightly different reasons, and he's just as worried about those men. He thinks that these people are screwing up, and that if they don't change their plan the Iraq war will fail, and a lot more of our men will have died for nothing.

Hyperbole. General Zinni has given a lot to this country, and we should have enough respect to at least hear him out.
