Thoughts from the General
In the face of all the media publicity about our current War against Terror, I thought it was appropriate to reiterate what Robert E. Lee once stated
"It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces,
and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers.
In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses
plainly saw all my strategic defects from the start,
yet failed to inform me until it was too late.
Accordingly, I am readily willing to yield my command
to these obviously superior intellects, and I will, in turn,
do my best for the Cause by writing editorials - after the fact."
- Robert E. Lee, 1863

Hindsight has nothing to do with Iraq and the war on terror. It was known before we went in that Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11.
Afghanistan and the war on terror is another matter. Few people, media or otherwise, dispute(d) the need for action there.
