Major General (ret.) Paul D Eaton, former commanding general in Iraq, and VoteVets.org Board Member, speaks with Chris Matthews about the President's veto of Iraq legislation
That's not what he said sdle. Last year he said we need more troops. This year he's saying more troops isn't the answer. That's an argument he can make, but he needs to point out what changed on the ground to make it a viable strategy at one point and not a viable strategy later. He hasn't made that case.
MG Eaton called for a competent execution of the war in Iraq which included a significant increase to the number of personel that we were willing to send. After that failed to happen, the troops surge would have at least represented the right direction for a competent occupation of Iraq. The Repulican Party failed to accomplish anything other than the creation of mass death and chaos and the need for the development and execution of an appropriate exit strategy.

Saddam is dead.
Iraq has a new governmemt.
Mission accomplished!
Now, let's bring our troops home and let the Iraqis work out their problems. The longer we stay, the greater the resistance.
...unless there was the ulterior motive for being there from the beginning and there was never any intention of ever leaving.

Pecking order in the military:
1. Law-abiding, hard working soldiers, airmen, sailors, and marines.
2. Murders.
3. Rapists.
4. Pedophiles.
5. Clinton Generals (Clark, Batiste, etc.)
You can't get any lower than a Clinton General.

Wow, a neocon troll. Ladies and gentleman, we certainly haven't found a new species.

Retired Generals need to shut up about thing for which they are no longer responsible. They either lied in uniform or they are lying now....
