When a Democratic Congress attempts to rein in the mismanagement, excesses, and lack of cohesive policy the Bush administration has demonstrated in the war in Iraq I see a familar refrain running through the cons dialogue, (must have been on Rush's show or something) and it goes something like "politicians are trying to micromanage the war and tie the Generals hands." Well I have to ask hasn't this been happening to tragic effect already, some reminders:
General Shinseki estimates several hundred thousand troops need, advice unheeded
Gen. Anthony Zinni called for Rumsfeld's resignation.
Army Maj. Gen.Paul Eaton lambasted Rumsfeld as "incompetent strategically, operationally and tactically,"
Army Maj. Gen. Charles H. Swannack Jr., the commander of the 82nd Airborne Division believes the United States is losing, he said, "I think strategically, we are." The framers were politicians, Wolfowitz, Perle, Rumsfield, Cheney, Fukuyama, Feith, Hadley, Abrams, Wurmser, and of course BUSH!
