Maj. Gen. Paul D. Eaton (Ret)

The General states what should and should have been obvious to every clear thinking American from the outset of Bush's ill begotten war in Iraq.

• We should have never gone there, but once we did ....
• We should have gone in with more troops
• We should have gone in better prepared
• We should have set a goal and an exit point

Clear thinking never has been an attribute of neocons as can be seen in that everything Democrats have fought for made things better - the opposite of what Republicans have accomplished. Everything has turned to s***

Many ask why the General waits until he retired to speak out.
The US Military would not stand for criticism in the General Ranks, and the General has his career to think about.
