How was containment not working?

Saddam was trying to shoot our planes out of the sky on a daily basis in the no-fly zones. Do you call that containment?

Gen. Zinni's beef is that he is pissed because Rummy didn't use the plans he (Zinni) drew up it 1999. That is obvious by his ranting article. Zinni and his pacifist friends need to get over Vietnam. We live in a new day after 9/11. Those car bombs in Baghdad could be going off in St. Louis Indianapolis & Phoenix. We cannot live like that. Also, if Zinni thinks that Bin Laden pulled off 9/11 (i.e. Visas, bank accounts, airline schedules, etc from a cave without a state sponsor (Iraq), he needs his head examined along with Howard Dean's.
