Please.
The Iraq testimony he gave was nothing but a party-line "feel-good". He's in a difficult position, I get that (and probably most people do), with a low probability of success. . . but I'd respect him more if there's been more original thought and objective analysis of the situation rather than more of the same-old, same-old.
"Continue the s(pl)urge!"
"We need more time"
"The Iraqis are becoming more self-sufficient"
"We'll start a draw-down next year (that we were going to anyway before the $urge began)"
I'm sure he's a good soldier, but he did one thing "good soldiers" do too well - he followed orders and did/said exactly what he was told to, no questions asked and no thought given.

Again, any proof except for the fact that his opinion differs from yours?
Does the sword cut the other way too? Can we also discount everything Wesley Clark says? What about all the other retired generals that Kach is so fond of?
I guess they are credible because they agree with you?
