I have heard him described as a professional gadfly and conterian (sp), which means he is suppose to find fault with current policy

[XJarhead]

That's exactly what he is. And he's just a guy spouting off his own views in his own article. He doesn't speak for the Army, the War College, or the Strategic Studies Institute as a whole, either.

I want to know why the hell VOA is headlining this crap!

It criticizes, as a "strategic error of the first order," the administration's linking of the al-Qaida terrorist organization and Saddam Hussein's Iraq as a single, undifferentiated terrorist threat.

That didn't happen. This guy is channeling Terry McAuliffe.

How about if it is part of an overall strategy to democratize the governments of the ME so as to prevent safe harbors for terrorists

Paul Begala and Terry McMommy are so dumb,they think one report by a visiting professor, is an endorsement by the Army War College. Begala also said today on CROSSFIRE,that President Bush was Kim Jong il,with a better haircut. I have to say that rather than getting upset by these types of remarks, I enjoy them. The Democrats are obviously agonal and are lashing out at everyone. Then later,Clark said that 9/11 was unrelated to Al Queda and had to run back to the microphone and issue a correction. The new Democrat motto- "You Couldn't Make This Stuff Up."

[Tempest]

Interesting background information. Looks like the media is intentionally misrepresenting this person opinion as the opinion of the college. Or else the media elite are just completely incompetent.

I'd give it a 50/50 chance that it could go eitherway.

[God is good]

It's Bush vs. The Beltway. Bush is best.

The study was not commissioned by, or sanctioned by the war college. It was reproduced by the war college. A little fact distorted by the headline.
