Tommy Franks piling it higher and deeper

General Tommy Franks has a commentary in the New York Times that is nothing more than an attempt to cover his own ass and the ass of his former boss. I read it but I'm not going to comment on it since I have to go throw up. If you think your up to it you can read it yourself HERE.

Update
Jazz over at Running Scared has a stronger stomach than I do.

This blatantly lopsided letter appears to be little more than a thinly disguised advertisement for Bush/Cheney 04. The real question is, was Franks pressured into doing this by the administration or is he greasing the skids for his own transition from military life to the political arena on the GOP side?

He also has some good links to other commentaries.

The op-ed certainly is a political document but I don't really see Franks as having national political goals. I see it as support for Bush and an attempt to clean up his own image for history.
