-THIS is the quote that really got me in his article. Are we talking the same Military he wrote about during Clinton's tenure-overdeployed-underfunded-focused on COOP training-EO and the Homosexual agenda-that Military? Gee, how things look rosier in hindsight!
"Top generals like former NATO commander Wes Clark and a squad of retired and active-duty four-stars warned long before the invasion of Iraq: Don't go there."{
-If you'll scroll through his archive, you'll see the same dire warnings about Serbia and Bosnia. Who was in charge then?

Good catches.
You could probably fill a book with his inconsistencies.
He offers no real solutions, just exaggerated problems.
I found his portrayal of GEN Shinseki particularly intriguing - this was, after all, the same general he ridiculed as a clueless "perfumed prince" just a few years back during the beret debacle. IIRC, Hack has also ranted similarly against Shinseki regarding the Stryker. I guess when he and Hack seem to be in agreement. Shinseki suddenly becomes "a distinguished soldier with counter-guerrilla campaigns in Vietnam and Bosnia under his pistol belt."
