ARLINGTON, Va. - A "failure of the national political leadership" is responsible for the nightmare of the Iraq war, retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez said Friday.
If some of Americas political leaders were in the military they would have been relieved or court-martialed long ago, Sanchez told a conference of military journalists.
"Neglect and incompetence" by the National Security Council has led to an intractable situation in Iraq, the former commander of coalition forces in Iraq said.

Interesting. Now that he's retired he doesn't have to tow the line anymore.
