Is anybody else not ready to be impressed about how our guys took the Yankees and beat a high school team. This isn't Eisenhower and MacArthur vs Hitler and the Jap's.
Before you attack, keep in mind that I think we shouldn't stop invading countries till the WMD and terrorists are as bottled up as is practical.

"Franks didn't doubt - and doesn't doubt today - that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. "The intelligence, while not precise, was overwhelming. Still is to this day. ... We had a tremendous amount of information going back to 1991 that WMD were not only present but were being continually pursued by the regime," he said.

He added that on a particularly bad day he told his staff and the commanders: "Don't ever, ever second-guess what you are doing. You are doing a wonderful job. Get your heads up and it will turn out just fine." We were so lucky to have these military leaders in charge...no question! And, no, not just anyone could have done this....far from it. We had not only Saddam (read about the Iraq-Iran war if anyone doubts), but the enemies of America (including the EU, UN and press) throwing stumbling blocks in our way all along...and still today. Awesome leadership, and character. Gen. Abizaird's a pretty fair leader as well...another tough guy who loves the troops, but Gen. Franks earned the glory for this war.
