Truth Be Told!

If you haven't heard, Ret. Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez characterized the Iraq war by making some of the following statements:

"There is no question America is living a nightmare with no end in sight"

"Continued manipulations and adjustments to our military strategy will not achieve victory"

"The best we can do with this flawed approach is stave off defeat"

"National efforts to date have been corrupted by partisan politics that have prevented us from devising an effective, executable and supportable strategies"

"At times, these partisan struggles have led us to political decisions that endangered the lives of our sons and daughters on the battlefield. The unmistakable message was that political power had greater priority than our national security objectives."

"Overcoming this strategic failure is the first step toward achieving victory in Iraq"

"Without bipartisan cooperation, we are doomed to fail. There is nothing going on today in Washington that would give us hope."

"Too often, our politicians have been distracted and they have chosen loyalty to their political parties above loyalty to the Constitution because of their lust for power"

"Congress has failed its job of oversight"

"Who will demand accountability for the failure of our national political leadership involved in the management of this war"

"They have unquestionably been derelict in in the performance of their duty. In my profession, these types of leaders would be immediately relieved or court-martialed."

"While the politicians espouse a rhetoric designed to preserve their reputations and their political power, our soldiers die"

"Our military alone could not achieve victory"

"Our National leadership ignored the lessons of World War Two as we entered into this war and to this day continue to believe that victory can be achieved through the application of military power alone"

"From a catastrophically flawed, unrealistically optimistic war plan, to the administration's latest surge strategy, this administration has failed to employ and synchronize its political, economical and military power"

He also said the surge was, "a desperate attempt by the administration that has not accepted the political and economic realities of this war and they have definitely not been able to communicate effectively that reality to the American people."

Now, just to be clear, this was not Barack Obama, John Edwards, or some other liberal, this was one of the most informed people of our time, speaking on the Iraq War. With a shining endorsement like that, what more could the Republican party ask for. All these years of listening to the Neocons barking bitterly in defense of their President and "HIS" war effort, shot down in flames with one "TRUTHFUL" statement.

It's about time someone, who was there and who knows a great deal about what's going on in Iraq, stood up and silenced the Right Wing Neocons. The Neocons who like to bark their fabrications at the rest of us can now bark them at someone who knows the truth of the situation.

We, Who Can See The Truth With Our Own Eye's, are so glad we have people with integrity in our armed services. Not everyone in this country is blinded by fascism and jingoism. God Bless America.
