These latest relevations primarily serve to show just how screwed up bureaucratic Washington and the Pentagon is these days.
It's absolutely appalling that the President and Vice President had to do a virtual complete end-around on the five rings in order to be able to achieve victory in Iraq. Never in my living memory has so much of the general staff been so openly disloyal to the civilians in charge.
I do not share your opinion of bob. i think he put just enough of a bad light on President Bush to sell his book. That our politicians for the most part are not supportiv of this nation or the defense of it does not surprise me. Bush has sacrificed a lot of himself.
And yes it is sad when Generals still in uniform become politician even when it costs lives.
