A West Pointer and former career military man of my
aquaintance, with combat experience in Vietnam,
opposed going into Iraq before Rumsfeld et al got
their way; he is *furious* at what this admin has done

an experienced person in the field rather than some
chickenhawks [an insult to raptors, BTW!] every time.
