Criticism From The Right
President Bush has withstood several attacks from the political left and a few from the political center. Now comes criticism from a place that the GOP might not expect - retired high-ranking military officers.
Gen. "Tony" McPeak: "The people in control in the Pentagon and the White House live in a fantasy world." and "Iraq is a diversion to the war on terror in exactly the same way Vietnam was a diversion to the Cold War."
Adm. Stansfield Turner: "All in all, Iraq is a failure of monumental proportions."
Gen. Anthony Zinni: "I saw the intelligence right up to the day of the war, and I did not see any imminent threat there. If anything, Saddam was coming apart."
I could go on and on, and these and other distinguished former high ranking military officers do in this article.
