As a matter of full-disclosure.
I know Zinni was a 4star Marine General and the Centcom chief following Gulf War 1.
I also know after he retired, he became a board member of several defense and intelligence agencies and has had extensive trips to the middle east visiting the oil emirates.
I also know that Zinni has never supported military action to depose Saddam or democratize the middle east. This would shake up the emirates and kingdoms (his benefactors, I believe).
I also believe he is one of Colin Powell's spokesman and Rumsfeld knows who is directing this latest attack.
While the Dems yell about Haliburton, they never make a peep about Rockefeller! Rockefeller/Saudi Crude.
Powell, Zinni and associates (Kissinger, et al).
The waters are murky and deep because our "patriots" are so fond of our real enemies.
"several defense and intelligence agencies..."
omitted "companies". Zinni is on the Board of Directors of companies doing defense and intell business.
