These attacks on Zinni are disgusting, IMHO. I don't know him personally, but he came across as being a patriot on the interview I saw last night.

If you will recall, he is not the only general who had reservations about Iraq. Are Schwarzkopf and Shinsheki anti-semites as well? I'll take the generals over the policy wonks anyday.

As for the accusations of him being a "clintonian perfume prince", it is my understanding that the Marine Corps was the *only* service branch that has successfully fought the feminization and lower standards that have been imposed on the other branches in the last 15 years.

Do a google search on what the generals were saying 2 years ago, and compare that to what the politicans were saying, and look who turned out to be right.

Zinni is not being referred to as anti-Semitic for "having reservations about Iraq."

Zinni is being referred to as anti-Semitic for singling out identifiably Jewish policymakers (Wolfowitz, Perle, etc.) as being part of a mysterious, shadowy cabal with ulterior motives -- "I think it's the worst kept secret in Washington. That everybody - everybody I talk to in Washington - has known and fully knows what their agenda was and what they were trying to do," says Zinni. -- for arguing for the overthrow of an insane, murderous despot; and for utilizing the well-known code phrase "neo-con," while so doing.

Big difference, that.
