An endorsement the doves do not need
Ricardo Sanchez, the retired general who was in charge of America's forces in Iraq during 2003-2004 and who presided over the abysmal system of internal controls that led to the mess at Abu Ghraib, has endorsed Demoratic proposals to withdraw all our troops by the end of 2008. Because, of course, if he did not succeed in Iraq, how can anybody else?
It will be interesting to see how many of the lefties who condemned Sanchez for incompetence or worse during the Abu Ghraib scandal will applaud him for strategic insight in 2007.

Rather than being lauded for insight, it will be: 'look, it's so obvious the troops need to come home that even a giant hack retard like Sanchez sees it.'

It will be interesting (but oh so predictable) to see how many on the right who applauded Sanchez for his strategic insight in 2003 (despite Abu Ghraib and the insurgency erupting under his command) will condemn him for his incompetence in 2007 by daring to differ with the Gang Who Couldn't Shoot Straight.
Sanchez joins an impressive (and growing) group of miltary/political folks who have deigned to stop drinking the kool aid. Good on them.
I gave thanks for that.

Geez, I never heard the Kool-Aid drinkers whine about Sanchez while he was over there dealing with the Hell that Dubya Wrought; it's only now when he is free to speak his mind that they begin their predictable drumbeat of personal destruction. How pathetic.
