The real point is that OSD micro management and bungling has cost us yardage bigtime

I'm more worried about the strategic threat. I do not want a successful WMD attack against our people of our allies.to succeed in hitting us. I think preemption is the right strategy. We should wage a relentless campaign against the entire Axis of Evil.

The advice of some to leave Hussein in power was properly heard and disregarded. Bush understood the message in September 11th.

I don't disagree with the war

I do think WMD is the ball we have to keep our eye on.

However, I don't see how OSD has helped

The strategic decisions were the president's and he made the right ones.

The operational execution has been hampered by excessive and inexpert civilian micromanagement

The gist of this article was to call a retired general, who dared question the operational judgement of these deeply flawed men, anti-semites.

Lame and untrue. I know Gen Zinni and he is not an Anti Semite
