It's all about coup-plotting also! And Zinni is in on the coup-plotting by trying to take down Rummy. Now, were those OTHER Generals and Col. Ralph Peters ALSO coup-plotters or just bandwagon jumpers?
Zinni is acting as a surrogate for Powell who hates Rummy. Powell brought Zinni over to the State Drepartment after Zinni retired. He became our special Middle East envoy.
