Anthony Zinni For U.S. Senate (Pennsylvania) Part Three
This is exactlly how we frame our national security agenda. And who better to serve as spokesman?
I have spent my life as a U.S. military man in the Caribbean, in the Far East, in Africa, in the Middle East, in Southwest Asia, and in Central Asia, in Europe, Eastern Europe. Our biggest flaw is that we never take time to understand the culture. Some things we do that make perfect sense to us do not make perfect sense in another culture.
As a result, look at the mistakes we've made in Iraq day by day: the de-Baathification, the disbanding of the army, bringing in exiles and propping them up as leadership -- we have made every mistake we possibly could.
Yes- what we need is a less confrontational and more inteligent, resourcefull, and sane national security policy. We want to show the world the way, not beat it into submission.
