General Zinni Critiques Bush Military Disasters
In his new book, The Battle for Peace:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Zinni
Anthony Charles Zinni, a retired general in the United States Marine Corps and a former Commander in Chief of U.S. Central Command, offers a devastating critique of the disastrous foreign policies of the Bush administration in the Middle East and elsewhere -- its failure to consolidate Afghanistan and make it the model for nearby regimes, its disruption of Iraq and nearby states, and its lack of significant support for Israeli/Palestininian peace. Zinni is currently speaking out (I heard him on Brian Lehrer's WNYC (Podcast available: http://www.wnyc.org/shows/bl/ ) program yesterday) and his own website is currently jammed with apparent hits so that I had to access an alternate above.
The latest Bush fiasco is apparently floating the proposal to nuke Iran, a nation of mainly under 30s who have greatly admired the American life style. To threaten a nuclear attack upon them is not exactly the way to win friends and change regimes!
Listen to or read Zinni for a solid and detailed critique of what we have done wrong and what we have failed to do following 9/11 when we had the full sympathy of the world.

War on two fronts was a bad move for Hitler. Not working out too well for Bush either.
The real tragedy started when Bush was too (fill in word here) to go after Osama at Tora Bora (isn't that a GREAT name). No guts no glory, oh right, that's the SAS slogan,those pesky Brits.
How bad is it now? Khadahar the HOME TOWN of the freakin' Talaban is being patrolled by the Canadians. 20 Canadians and two 1954 Jeeps. Great guys, pretty good Jeeps...BUT SHITE!!
Somebody should give Bush a blowjob so we can impeach him! Obviously, GROSS NEGLIGENCE isn't enough reason.
