CaP'N GRuNGe Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 The General hits the nail on the head. We get no where in Iraq without the political leaders playing along. We've given them a chance. Time to bring our troops home and let them deal with their internal issues. You want to prevent a vacuum in the Middle East created by our departure for the Iranians and others to fill? Leave a couple of nuclear subs in the gulf as a deterrant. As Teddy Roosevelt said, walk softly and carry a big nuke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H8tank Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Interesting... There was, and is, much to respect about Sanchez, even if one thinks that he failed as a commander in Iraq. "I think there are some really admirable qualities," said Maj. Gen. [David] Petraeus, who reported to him for a year. . . . Even so, the methodical Sanchez often appeared overwhelmed by the situation, with little grasp of the strategic problems he faced. The opinion of many of his peers was that he was a fine battalion commander who never should have commanded a division, let alone a corps or a nationwide occupation mission. "He was in over his head," said Lt. Col. Christopher Holshek, who served in Iraq in 2003. "He was a fulfillment of the Peter Principle." . . . "It was my view after seeing him that Rick Sanchez was exactly in the wrong place," said Richard Armitage. . . . "And when you look in retrospect, a lot has improved since Rick went out. . . . I came away from my first meeting with him saying that this guy didn't get it." http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0143038915...820#reader-link Page 156 Reuters notes that Sanchez "commanded the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq from June 2003 until July 2004 as the anti-U.S. insurgency took hold," that he "blamed the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal for wrecking his career," and that last month (as we also noted) he "blamed the Bush administration for a 'catastrophic failure' in leadership of the war." Whatever the merits of his arguments, Sanchez is far from a disinterested party. He is seeking to avoid blame for the failures in Iraq under his command.
