Ex-Commander Blasts Iraq 'Nightmare'
By Robert Parry
Retired Army Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, who commanded U.S. forces in
Iraq for the first year of the occupation, blamed “incompetence” by
President George W. Bush’s national security team for creating a
“nightmare” that could last far into the future.
Sanchez, who led coalition forces from June 2003 to June 2004, used an
Oct. 12 speech to a conference of Military Reporters and Editors in
Arlington, Virginia, to castigate nearly everyone connected to the
Iraq War, including the U.S. news media, Congress, the State
Department, the White House and the Pentagon.
“There has been a glaring, unfortunate display of incompetence in
strategic leadership among our national leaders,” Sanchez said.
“They have unquestionably been derelict in the performance of their
duty. In my profession, these types of leaders would be immediately
relieved or court-martialed.”

How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for George Bush's
legacy?
