UH OH! Another Shrubco employee fucks up! (tells the truth)
Franks Says U.S. Should Have Hired Iraqis

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20041013/ap_on_el_pr/bush_franks

NICEVILLE, Fla. - The United States should have quickly reformed the Iraqi army after most of its soldiers walked off the battlefield and got them "working for us," retired Gen. Tommy Franks said Tuesday.

So....

Thats, Bremer, Rummy, and now Franks that have said the planning in Iraq sucks.

How many more have to "mis-speak" till it gets through?

2. Even so, Franks still supports B*sh.
I can't figure out why, considering that he's been critical of the Iraq debacle. The smart retired generals, like Clark and Shalikashvili and McPeak, have endorsed Kerry.

3. This is more like Monday morning QB'ing
I wouldn't call it truth telling like Bremmer's slip. "should have"s are simply hindsight on how to do things better next time.
Uh oh... there better not be a "next time".

4. Franks
That son of a gun needs to go back to Iraq and sit on the front lines for awhile. He'd surely come up with a few good stories about the 101 ways to screw up an occupation.

I wonder if he has spoken yet about how he thinks there should've been more troops. If he hasn't yet, he's sure bound too before it's all over.
