General Sanchez and the Blame Game

[kehenry1]

Please warn me next time that looking up such things might be not for public consumption...

BWAAAHHAAAHAA!

I don't know what's funnier - the mental self-flagellation Steve has decided to give himself, or the ignorance of the term "dirty Sanchez."

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Made my afternoon, thanks much...

Well, I deem somethings as a virtue and not knowing what that was definitely counts among them.

and I'm not at all sure just how much better off I am now that I do know...

I didn't know, and it is WAY more information than I needed.

Then do not, repeat DO NOT, look up a rusty trombone.

Sorry about that, Kat et al, I treasured my sadly departed naivete also

Check out the Amazon reivews of this dog.

Lt Gen Sanchez has a lot of moral courage to write this book. Every page you read brings you to respect him more.

He's clearly supporting someone's biases.

So what do y'all think his agenda is, aside from trying to avoid being crucified in the history books?

--Salvage his reputation to do the corporate board/talking head thing

Wouldn't that be refreshing? "I f*ed up royally, here's why." Now where is Steve's image of hell freezing over?

Honestly, doesn't he realize he could save a whole lot of dignity just by doing that? Does he think people actually will buy into his version of what happened? Or do we think he (or Feith) himself actually believes this apologetic swill?

I'm glad Steve's reading it and not me, because these things generally make my blood pressure resemble that of somebody four times my age. . .I was having palpitations while reading Fiasco. . .

Ah, the Wesley Clark/Merrill McPeak approach to dubious military achievement. One of the Amazon reviewers compared Sanchez to Clark, and I agreed with the comparison, especially in light of the content of "Waging Modern War" by Clark.

That book gave an interesting spin to

listening to someone directly... adds value to any opinions you have of them

. It only made me less forgiving of Clark's choice to place the interest of the EU ahead of U.S. interests.
