he was never any good at the job, we were apparently blindsided in the attack, and he fully supports unlimited surveillance inside the US.
As a general he sucked too. All he did in Iraq was side with the Shiite majority in their civil war. When they won with us on their side, the fighting came to an end.
In Afghanistan his main contribution besides his camp follower was writing the worst rules of engagement a military force has ever had to fight under. If there is ANY possibility that a civilian can get hurt, supporting arms cannot be used. He lets grunts die under fire when arty and air could save them,,period.
He is an academic who got promoted for the war fighting doctrine of trying to become friends with the enemy. Worthless.
