* When Bush ordered Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to come up with a plan to go to war with Iraq - right in the middle of the ground war in Afghanistan - Army Gen. Tommy Franks was so upset, he unleashed a string of obscenities.

I highly doubt this.

I hope General Franks calls him on it. I'm not a lawyer but it seems to me that it might be actionable.

I agree, I doubt Tommy Franks ever acted like this, and I'm sure Tommy Franks will be questioned about this and shoot it down.

During the build up to invading Iraq, everyone knew ousting the Saddam Regime would be a lot easier than proping up a new Government and changing the midset of a people who have been brutalized for nearly 30 years.

I can believe General Franks was not enthusiastic about invading Iraq. The last person who wants to go to war is an experienced soldier. The swearing might have been a way to get his mind working on the problem, though. $%^&&!#$#$% so THAT'S what we'll do. Etc...
