"We have never taken this operation seriously enough," says a retired senior military official with experience in Iraq. "We have never provided enough troops. We have never provided enough equipment, or the right kind of equipment. We have never worked the intelligence part of the war in a serious, sustained fashion. We have failed the Iraqi people, and we have failed our troops."
I think it's possible that Colin Powell, Wesley Clark or Eric Shinseki is the "retired senior military official" with "experience in Iraq." I think that the tip-off that it is not a retired senior military official who actually served in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom is the "experience in Iraq."
