He was former Central Command Chief in Charge of all U.S. Forces in the Persian Gulf Region. In addition Zinni Was Selected Personally by George W. Bush as U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East in 2001. I'd say that gives him more credibility on the subject than you. Bush seems to have thought highly of him and his abilities.

"Bush seems to have thought highly of him and his abilities."
As an envoy, yes. Heck, pat buchanan was a half way decent speech writer...sure didn't make him presidential material.

The general didn't achieve the rank he did by NOT being a politician.
He's out of the loop now. Does he see every bit of private news and secret intel that crosses the president's desk or is relayed to him by officers in the war zone or by his own defense and state departments? I think not.
Another liberal mind-setted old war dog, going by his "feelings", experience in past wars, and to heck with facts (all of which he's not privvy to).

Bush seems to have thought highly of him and his abilities. Apparently not enough to put him in Paul Bremer's place.
What's your deal? Is Zinni a relative?
