TOMMY FRANKS ON CNN: Osama bin Laden is not in Afghanistan, as Senator Kerry said he is.
On lacking a plan for winning the peace: "If you read my book, you'll find I mention a term called 'catastrophic success.' It's a good news thing. . . . But it takes a long time to bring stability to a place that hasn't known stability for a long time. It's inaccurate to say that there was not a plan . . . but some in our media built expectations that that would happen more quickly than was possible."

US State Secretary Colin Powell said after talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing the format was "what we should be concentrating on".
Mr Li described the talks as the "only feasible and correct option"

Tommy Franks on Fox now saying Kerry was flat out WRONG that resources were diverted from Afganistan to Iraq, He said thet when Iraq operations were getting ready to start, there were 9,500 troops in Afganistan and it steadily went up to over 12,000 while Iraq was going on.
Kerry continues to suggest we need to get a coalition to join the US in Iraq, yet when President Bush developed a coalition with China, South Korea, Japan and Russia to address North Korea Kerry says we must address them bilaterally. Just the US and North Korea. He is so inconsistent. BLAH ....
