repub-L-I-C-an
repubLying-Incompetence-Corruption-an ... according to General (ret) Anthony Zinni

Thank you, General Zinni!

Now, in a new book about his career, co-written with Tom Clancy, called "Battle Ready," Zinni has handed up a scathing indictment of the Pentagon and its conduct of the war in Iraq.

In the book, Zinni writes: "In the lead up to the Iraq war and its later conduct, I saw at a minimum, true dereliction, negligence and irresponsibility, at worse, lying, incompetence and corruption."

2. Will be interesting to watch the Republican Attack dogs go after Zinni
But of course, they'd attack Mother Teresa (if she were alive) if it suited them poltically.

4. Haven't heard, but I'll make some guesses..
"Sour grapes" (since he didn't make Joint Chief of Staff)
"Trying to get a Kerry admin nomination"
"Monday morning quarterback"
"Out of the loop - who cares what he says"
"Zinni - isn't that French?"
"He was tight with Clinton"

6. Marines don't get to be Chief of Staff. Only Army, Navy, Air Force
