Ineffective counterattacks!

Can't you folks see what the "professionals" are saying about this crap and realiize that they just MAY know what in the hell they're talking about??

Evidently not.

The folks mentioned below seem to me to be a "bit" more qualified and able to defend THEIR 'position(s)" than they so-called "hawks" around here.......or anywhere for that matter!

U.S. Naval Academy grad and Vietnam veteran Richard Armitage; veterans of the Gulf War, including most famously Bush Sr.'s national security adviser, ret. Gen. Brent Scowcroft; the Gulf War commander, ret. Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf; and his logistics chief and later successor at Central Command, ret. Gen. Anthony Zinni.

This glaring disparity between experience and rhetoric has not been lost on the military brass. "It's pretty interesting that all the generals see it the same way, and all the others who have never fired a shot and are hot to go to war see it another," noted Zinni, who as chief of the U.S. Central Command in the late 1990s was responsible for U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf region. The main concern of ex-generals like Zinni and Schwarzkopf is that an invasion will burden the military with an impossible and perhaps interminable political task. "Do we really want to occupy Iraq for the next 30 years?" asked former Navy Secretary and Vietnam veteran James Webb in a Washington Post column last week.


But the Chicken Hawks have not been shy about counterattacking Zinni and Co., arguing, like Clemenceau, that "war is too important to be left to the generals."

Looks like we got more "counterattackers" that think the same way, huh??

Well, I'l STILL go with "Stormin Norman" and General Zinni thank you very much!
