The General's record is entirely laudable and without blemish.

Says a neocon. As for me, Keane's connection to Kimberly Kagan, and the Kagan family, is the only indicator I need to reject him and his drum beat for war outright.

Don't you dare try to pin that label on me. I have long argued in a vanity mea culpa that I was wrong in favoring the onset of the Iraq war. I have long posted that these wars are draining us, diverting our resources and weakening the nation.

On the other hand, I have warned against taking the wrong lessons from the last war which seems to be history's invariable grim joke played on humanity.

________________

Dr. Kagan was also credited as the executive producer for the blockbuster film The Surge: the Untold Story with CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus, ISW Chairman, U.S Army General Jack Keane (ret.) and LTG James Dubik (ret.) describing the surge strategy in Iraq and how some high-ranking officers from the United States Army would like to present themselves as having pacified the country and thus won the war."

"Along with General Keane, Dr. Kagan is an Advisory Board Member of Spirit of America, a 501(c) organization that supports the safety and success of Americans serving abroad and the local people and partners they seek to help."
