I don't hold my CICs (or the men supposedly serving faithfully under them) to the standards of a Bill Clinton. I set the bar a good deal higher than that, actually

What was Zinni supposed to do, head up a coup and topple Clinton if he disagreed with Clinton directives? Or just end his career so you would be so happy? How many times have you chosen to sabotage your career to live up to your standards?

Of course: this begs the question, ultimately, as to which master(s) -- foreign or domestic -- said career was in service of, doesn't it...?

Was this Clinton's fault as well? Was Zinni simply being a good little soldier when he gave 'sworn' testimony as to the facts, a few months before GW was elected?
