Walt:

You do understand that when you change the subject (as with this
sub-thread), most of us assume you are ceding the original point. Just
thought I'd remind you. The new issue you introduce ("wrongness" of Clinton
policy) has already been handled elsewhere.

As to Zinni's credentials/opinion (the original point), are you ceding
that his participation in creating the "Other" policy (failed or not) has
more to do with his current opinion than any rational analysis of the facts?
You know, the "Clarke Effect?"

Zinni strongly supported the Clinton line (he helped develop it), and
continues to refuse to admit the line was wrong.

Why wrong? I don't think the Clinton "line" produced 5,000 battle
casualties.

We've been in Iraq for 14 months. To whom are we giving control of the
country
on 6/30/04?

No one knows.

I don't need a 4 star general to tell me that this is a disaster.
