Zinni Cuts In
Once a Clintonista… Also: Hollywood's terrorists. House sweet home. McCain's markings. More on Stature's disappearance. More on Ben's service. Plus much else.

I don’t agree with Mr. Babbin with respect to his recent positions on Iraq and illegal immigration, but I agree totally with his comments on General Zinni.
The analogy between Civil War General George McClellan and modern day Generals Clark and Zinni is too strong to ignore. A similar analogy exists between Civil War era Copperheads and today’s rabid anti-war leaders like Kennedy, Pelosi, etc.
p>History teaches how wrong McClellan and the Copperheads were in 1864. History teaches how wrong Zinni and the liberal democrats are today. br> — Doug Santo br> Pasadena, California /p>General Zinni is actually a Marine. I had heard it predicted of him that he would go very, very far in the Marine Corps from a flag wife around 1994. She thought he was tremendous, but I discounted this to some extent because I found her not particularly credible generally.
I checked in to CENTCOM in January of 1999 to drill in the J3, and saw that everybody LOVED him. I didn’t get it. Not that I grew personally attached to General Franks, but I could see he was getting things done.
p>General DeLong was the case where everybody loved him, including me. Mrs. DeLong is a sweety-pie, and was continually surrounded by a cloud of male junior field-grade at social events. br> — Ed Ahlsen-Girard br> Walton Beach, Florida
