Michael E. O’Hanlon, a military analyst at the Brookings Institution, criticized General Sanchez for implying in his speech that the current military strategy of relying on additional troops and on protecting the Iraqi people is little different than the strategy employed when he was in command.
Noting that calls by members of Congress for troops were rebuffed by the Bush administration in 2003, Mr. O’Hanlon said, “Sanchez was one of the top military people who condoned that, if not directly, then by his silence.”
Gen. Shinseki spoke out and he was canned so the questionable choice of Sanchez was another move by the Cheney/Rumsfeld cabal to get a compliant general. Perhaps Sanchez is having second thoughts about this Fiasco?
