General Zinni Critiques Bush Military Disasters http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Zinni Anthony Charles Zinni, a retired general in the United States Marine Corps and a former Commander in Chief of U.S. Central Command, offers a devastating critique of the disastrous foreign policies of the Bush administration in the Middle East and elsewhere -- it failure to consolidate Afghanistan and make it the model for nearby regimes, its disruption of Iraq and nearby states, and its lack of signifcant support for Israeli/Palestinian peace. Zinni is currently speaking out (I heard him on Brian Lehrer's WNYC (Podcast available: http://www.wnyc.org/shows/bl/ ) program yesterday) and his own website is currently jammed with apparent hits so that I had to access an alternate above. The latest Bush fiasco is apparently floating the proposal to nuke Iran, a nation of mainly under 30s who have greatly admired the American life style. To threaten a nuclear attack upon them is not exactly the way to win friends and change regimes! Listen to or read Zinni for a solid and detailed critique of what we have done wrong and what we have failed to do following 9/11 when we had the full sympathy of the world. -- "A war is just if there is no alternative, and the resort to arms is legitimate if they represent your last hope."
