Why do they have to be jarheads?

Well, inter-service rivalry being what it is it sticks in my gullet to give out props to a couple of marines but it's well deserved here.

First, check out LTG Newbold's article about the mess known as Iraq.

Next, General Zinni has a new book out. It's on my reading list but you can hear a lengthy interview with him here. He's a rationale, reasonable guy with a clear understanding of the appropriate uses of military force.

The disturbing fact is that I know there must be a number of senior military officials out there that see the train running off the tracks yet don't speak out.
