a bit defensive are we?
you are entitled to your opinion as i am mine... you may think i am wrong and worthy of name calling and humiliating... i just think you are wrong. no dehumanizing or humiliating. just the difference between the two of us. i argue with the intent on dealing in facts, you tend to argue with more opinion...
“Excuse us for failing to recognize you as the greatest military mind since von Clausewitz.”— i did not seek the recognition, but you are excused and i thank you for it.
“My only question is why have you not sought a position as a senior planner within the Pentagon?”— i feel they are doing an excellent job: toppled saddam’s regime, destroyed the insurgency, tied up alqaeda so they could not strike us at home, showed the world we are diligent, effectively battled against a death cult with minimum casualties...
no, no need to apply for position... your concerns come from mistakes being made in war... but you fail to realize the enemy always gets a say in whatever is tried. iraq is a success and continues to show why bush, rumsfield, and cheney knew and know what they are doing.
the politicians blow in the wind... powell, pelosi, reid, clinton, obama... the war needs to be continued.

and yes i still believe you are wrong.
You said: a bit defensive are we?
Nope. I believe I fall more into the Patton school of war: “Nobody ever defended anything successfully, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.”
I don’t believe in being defensive.
