Another Phony Soldier Weighs In

General Petraeus spoke out last week. And now another left wing loser denies the necessity for torture and calls for investigations:

In front of a packed audience tonight at the Times Center in New York City, General Ricardo Sanchez, the former commander of all coalition forces in Iraq, called for a truth commission to investigate the abuses and torture which occurred there.

The General described the failures at all levels of civilian and military command that led to the abuses in Iraq, “and that is why I support the formation of a truth commission.”

The General went on to say that, “during my time in Iraq there was not one instance of actionable intelligence that came out of these interrogation techniques.”

I interviewed General Sanchez after the event and asked him to elaborate on why he felt the US needed such a commission. “For the American people to really know what happened, ” he replied, “…this was an institutional failure, a personal failure on the part of many….”

“If we do not find out what happened,” continued the General, “then we are doomed to repeat it.”

Typical left wing loser. Why does he hate the troops so much?
