Quote of the Day
from the NY Times article: The Strategy to Secure Iraq Did Not Foresee a 2nd War By MICHAEL R. GORDON, Published: October 19, 2004
General Garner said the administration's mistakes had made it easier for the insurgency [in Iraq] to take hold.
"John Abizaid was the only one who really had his head in the postwar game," General Garner said, referring to the general who served as General Franks's deputy and eventually his successor. "The Bush administration did not. Condi Rice did not. Doug Feith didn't. You could go brief them, but you never saw any initiative come of them. You just kind of got a north and south nod. And so it ends with so many tragic things."
