Delta Force founder calls Iraq “Utter Debacle”

(emphasis added)

Q: What’s your assessment of the war in Iraq?

A: Utter debacle. … (Army Gen.) Tommy Franks was brow-beaten … That’s why he retired immediately afterward.
We have fomented civil war in Iraq. We have probably fomented internecine war in the Muslim world between the Shias and the Sunnis, and I think Bush may well have started the third world war, all for their own personal policies.

Q: What is the cost to our country?

A: For the first thing, our credibility is utterly zero. So we destroyed whatever credibility we had. … And I say “we,” because the American public went along with this. They voted for a second Bush administration out of fear, so fear is what they’re going to have from now on.
