Eaton has been a useful fool/tool for the Dims for more than a decade, for the usual reasons. After the invasion of Iraq, Eaton was given the job of rebuilding the Iraqi military. A herculean task, to be sure, and it quickly became apparent that General Eaton wasn’t up to the job. He was fired by Don Rumsfeld, and voila, Eaton emerges as a critic of the Iraq War and the Bush Administration.
Incidentally, the guy who replaced Eaton in that job was David Petraeus. To be sure, Petraeus has his own issues, but he was far more effective in the training mission (and other assignments) than Eaton was. And of course, Eaton’s dismissal from that important post is never mentioned by his friends in the media—or the Democrat party.
I had no clue who this tool was until I saw that commercial on TV last night. That led to a little research.
Thanks for the enlightenment.
