SHEESH!!! Talk about POOR timing for an article! Here is a typical quote:

Now we're stuck in the Iraqi quicksand in a soon-to-be burning desert with guerrillas tearing up our rear, doing unto our troops whatever unconventional fighters did to the French at Moscow, the Germans at Stalingrad, the Americans in Vietnam and Somalia, the Soviets in Afghanistan and the Russians in Chechnya.

Yeah, Hack, the Iraq campaign is some disaster. Today we captured Saddam airport among such "disasters." Perhaps Hackworth can try to escape the humiliation for being so wrong in this article by claiming it was just an April Fools joke. Just look at the date it was published.

[Retrofire]

This guy's anti-Rumsfeld rhetoric is so transparent, it's frightening.

Any books he writes after this war will be pulp fiction ala Marcincko.

[Mr. Mojo]

Hackworth is delusional and stupid --- A loser through and through. ....(with a bad Roman faggot haircut).

[Ronin1]

Sometimes I wonder what the hell is going through Hack's mind. Its like he's jealous of what is being accomplished, just like McCaffery and all the other retired officers who turned into talking heads.

[Servant of the Nine]

Hack has consistently been wrong about our capabilities since Mogadishu.
I wonder if that didn't hit him as hard as it did Les Aspin?

Hackworth has really lost me as a fan. He conveniently doesn't mention that in the first Gulf War we bombed Iraqi troops for over a month before launching the ground offensive. So if you want to get technical the first Gulf War took over a month, and so far this one is only 2 weeks old.

[Illbay]

Stupid article.

He somehow fails to remember that the "100 hours" followed "100 days" of round-the-clock bombing.

This operation has gone so smoothly it exceeded my wildest expectations. Especially when you consider that they had to adjust to some things they might not have anticipated, like the illegal "guerrilla" tactics used by the Fedayeen, and not having Turkey as a transport and supply corridor.

People have criticized Rumsfeld for fighting "on the cheap," yet fail to remember that we have ongoing ops in Afghanistan, and need to keep a watchful eye on Korea.

I plan to ignore Hackworth in the future.

More proof there is a God of justice in heaven.

God I LOVE seeing that self engrossed media pig go down hard like this! YES!!!

[try phecta tom]

all my stupidity are belong to me

"... Perhaps Hackworth can try to escape the humiliation for being so wrong in this article by claiming it was just an April Fools joke."

What the hell's wrong with this guy? His psychotropic medication needs adjustment?

[InvisibleChurch]

i remember him predicting the US was going to lose 20,000 lives during the Gulf War

[nevergore]

This war will remove Col. Hackworth as a credible source of current military strategy and techniques forever....

Shame to see him go out this way, he served his country well....

To be reduced to a shrill has-been from an outstanding warrior is sad.....

[Tribune7]

April Fool, Hack.

[Conservababe]

Hackworth is on a new cause...war related diseases. He said before the war that our troops were not equipped with viable gear to withstand bio or chemical attacks. One thing he said that I laughed at was that our soldiers "do not have a place to change into their gear".

Yes, I know he was an honorable soldier, but nowdays, he seems a fruitcake.

[woofie]

Hackworth made one classic mistake...he opened his mouth

[Busywhiskers]

Hackworth is as wrong as all those retired generals that have been whining about the impending doom of our forces. They have no credibility left and ought to just shut their pie holes.

[NavyCaptain]

Well, Hack has just become another hack!

[Beck_isright]

Notice how "Hack" has been disinvited from Fox and the radio programs lately. He's down to going on CNN for face time. That pretty much is an indication your career as a "military expert" is over.

The more Hackworth speaks, the more I'm convinced that he really was DITHF.

[mc10]

up till a coupla or so years ago, I enjoyed admiring this former hero. But, he has been wrong much more than he has been right. He has turned into a self promoting opportunist and I unfortunately have no admiration left for him. Awfully sad because we didn't have enuf heroes before this apparent success at liberation of a fine Iraqi people. This article will hopefully shut him up and get him out of the public eye or he is gonna end up being a genuine laughing stock. Bye Hack. I'm gonna miss you!
