Bring Back the Gunfighter - Hack at sftt.org - WH thumb in pie?

The word is that Gen. John Abizaid has a highly paid civilian public-relations adviser on his staff, Jim Wilkinson, reported to be a “Republican operative” formerly at the White House who rakes in more than $100,000 a year and holds the equivalent rank of a major general. I’m told he actually wore a uniform while advising Tommy Franks on how to package the invasion to please the patriots back home and play the polls – although, of course, what we were told wasn’t exactly true. Remember poor, exploited Jessica Lynch – how she was positioned as the 21st-century answer to Audie Murphy?

Interesting as usual take from real warrior on fake and foolish ones.

1. Props to Hack.

Right on.

But misses the larger point, why the fuck are we there?
What did we get from VietNam that was worth the blood and treasure?
And what can we hope to get in Iraq that is worth the cost?
It's going to be mighty damn expensive oil.
