Tommy Franks Speaks Out
Very interesting interview with Gen. Tommy Franks. Highlights:
In a free-ranging exclusive interview, Franks set the record straight on the surge and a host of thorny subjects, and revealed the following about President Bush and his administration:
President Bush was never in a rush to invade Iraq.

Bush was always a good leader – calm, studious and deliberative – and was never steam-rolled by his top advisors, but was always his own man

Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld is getting a bum rap.

No administration would have allowed Iraq to continue with business-as-usual after 9/11.

There was plenty of planning and preparation for post-invasion operations in Iraq.

There is a definable limit to what the U.S. will tolerate as to Iran and Syria's interference in Iraq.

The Walter Reed hospital debacle resulted from "failed leadership."
