I watched a replay yesterday from the hearings held earlier in the week when 3 of the top Generals were being questioned by these Senators. As Boxer, Clinton, etc read quotes taken from the NY Times and Wash. Post, Sanchez flatly denied any of these accusations...under oath.
If he's lying, he's in big trouble...but his testimony was pretty believable as he and the other Generals were adamant that so many of these stories in the press are just plain wrong.
Heck, I thought England already admitted that no one ordered them to do these things, and that many of them were just passing the time away by being crude and obnoxious...while another admitted it was in retaliation for what was done to Lynch.
Sanchez dropped the ball in many ways and has also not done well in running the tactical operation in country. He does not get along with his Division commanders or with 1MEF/Marines.
I agree, he's going to get relieved as soon as this settles down. His status was the driver for reorganizing the command into two parts, a diplomatic way of taking tactical control away from Sanchez.
