General blames US for Iraq 'chaos'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3186971.stm

The former commander of Nato forces in Europe, General Wesley Clark, says American policy has "created chaos" in Iraq.

But General Clark expressed reservations about waging war on a country that he did not believe was "particularly linked to terrorism" or an "imminent danger".

He said the war should have resulted in restored Iraqi relations with the UN and Nato, finding weapons of mass destruction and ensuring Iraq would "not become a hotbed of international terrorism".

"We are drawing in terrorists. We have created chaos in Iraq," he said.



As usual, W responded to todays events in Iraq by going fund raising.
