For Vietnam Vet Anthony Zinni, Another War on Shaky Territory

Four Star Marine General Anthony Zinni denounces the Iraq wars aims. Zinni is no peacenik; he thinks that plenty of places in the world "need their asses kicked". He no tyro; he commanded Desert Fox, the Middle Eastern theater, and was special envoy to the Middle East in 2001. He is no Democrat; he endorsed Bush in 2000. He is no suck-up; the General is coming out swinging. He says that the Bush Administration had no idea what they were getting into and lied a blue streak to get us there.

Zinni's opposition and critique must give Republicans a healthy pause in their arrongant certitude about the proper course in Iraq and the rectitude of pre-emptive war. It will separate those capable of independent thought from the absolutely unsalvagable facsist tools. Don't look for news of Zinni's opposition to be strongly promoted by the press. Expect it to lurk at low volume until a critical mass of doubt is reached, at which point Zinni's story will explode.
