Guns, the problem here is Zinni's developing Wesley Clark disease. His immediately leaping on the neo-con excuse simply exacerbates it. Do I appreciate Zinni's past service? Of course.Do I think he is being disingenuous at best and frankly seditious ate worst,? Yes. He is about to enter that Admiral Crowe world of slighted flag officers with wadded panties.

ADM Crowe got an ambassadorship to London as a reward. Zinni is hoping for something similar if the Dems get into power. He has burned his bridges with the GOP.

But wait a second. For whatever reason (I don't know how that label evolved) the people who advocate the policy of aggressive military action with the goal of instituting Pax Americana are called neocons. If you disgree with that policy, and name it's implementers and adherents, you shouldn't be called a racist just because some of them are Jewish. I see this as neocons playing the 'race' card to chill dissent, and that bothers me as much as if anyone else was doing it.

I think your closer then you think. I expect his name to pop up big time after the dems have there nominee. The lefty's are starting to drool over the possibility of having a Dean/Zinni ticket (now that Clark has killed any chance it could be him as VP, someone has got to teach that boy politics).

Zinni as a Dean running mate, could do some damage. (though he was a republican, did vote for Bush, yada yada yada, now regrets it, etc).
