I've met LTG Sanchez in person. He's a tall dude.

We called him "Dirty" in my last unit... If you get the joke... ;)

In a sweeping indictment of the four-year effort in Iraq, the former top American commander called the Bush administration’s handling of the war incompetent and warned that the United States was “living a nightmare with no end in sight.”

In one of his first major public speeches since leaving the Army in late 2006, retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo S. Sanchez blamed the administration for a “catastrophically flawed, unrealistically optimistic war plan” and denounced the current “surge” strategy as a “desperate” move that will not achieve long-term stability.

Vote:
In your opinion do you believe the U.S. will exit Iraq having achieved its goals or failed in its goals? ---> http://www.youpolls.com/details.asp?pid=698

Sanchez said the war in Iraq is "a nightmare with no end in sight," adding America has no choice but to continue fighting or the country will sink into chaos, which will spread throughout the Middle East. America will be there "for the foreseeable future," he said.


Sounds like he doesn't think there is any option but to keep fighting. Not a great endorsement, eh?
