Just recently Gen. Sanchez, former commander of forces in Iraq, has spoken his mind on the situation. He has called the situation a "nightmare" among other things. He also stated that the administration has extremely naive and uninformed about the consequences of an occupation. Here is analysis of the people that ran the war.
Retired Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez delivered a scathing assessment of the management of the war as he denounced US political leaders as "incompetent," "inept" and "derelict in the performance of their duty."
Gee, that is pretty much common knowledge, he is just reinforcing our beliefs.
I have heard people say that if things were that f*cked up, why did he not voice his concern to the leadership? I would guess that he probably did, but as an uniformed officer he is required to follow their orders. Even if he did not agree with them. And as an officer he would not have made his concerns public, it would have been a break with protocol.
IMO, everything he is saying is probably correct. Timing, I would imagine has something to do with a book that he has written or is writing. The thing is that all this stuff needs to be out there and the historians will play it as they see it. The more info they have the more accurate they will be.
The most important part of this is when Gen. Sanchez says that the leadership that screwed up the situation in Iraq "should be held responsible for their incompetence".
