Gen. Eaton: Dick Cheney Was "Incompetent War Fighter" Posted by The Editors

This statement is from the National Security Network's Senior Advisor Major General Paul Eaton:

Washington, D.C. - Today, National Security Network Senior Adviser Gen. Paul Eaton (Ret.), who served more than 30 years in the United States Army and from 2003-2004 oversaw the training of the Iraqi military, responded to Dick Cheney's Afghanistan accusations from last night:

"The record is clear: Dick Cheney and the Bush administration were incompetent war fighters. They ignored Afghanistan for 7 years with a crude approach to counter-insurgency warfare best illustrated by: 1. Deny it.  2.  Ignore it. 3. Bomb it. While our intelligence agencies called the region the greatest threat to America, the Bush White House under-resourced our military efforts, shifted attention to Iraq, and failed to bring to justice the masterminds of September 11.

"The only time Cheney and his cabal of foreign policy 'experts' have anything to say is when they feel compelled to protect this failed legacy. While President Obama is tasked with cleaning up the considerable mess they left behind, they continue to defend torture or rewrite a legacy of indifference on Afghanistan. Simply put, Mr. Cheney sees history throughout extremely myopic and partisan eyes.

"As one deeply invested in the Armed Forces of this country, I am grateful for the senior military commanders assigned to leading this fight and the men and women fighting on the ground. But I dismiss men like Cheney who inject partisan politics into the profound deliberations our Commander-in-Chief and commanders on the ground are having to develop a cohesive and comprehensive strategy, bringing to bear the economic and diplomatic as well as the military power, for Afghanistan—something Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld never did.

"No human endeavor can be as profound as sending a nation's youth to war.  I am very happy to see serious men and women working hard to get it right."

I sent Gen. Eaton’s comments to the Mike Malloy radio show and Mike discussed the comments on his show Thursday night. Mike also read a comment I added:
Gen. Eaton was one of the “Revolt of the Generals” Generals. He and his two sons have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
His Grandfather served in WWI.
During his freshman year at West Point, Paul Eaton got a call from his mother telling him his father was missing in action. It was December of 1969 when his Dad was lost over Laos after a bombing run. He was missing until 2004 when someone found his dog tags. Gen. Eaton was in Iraq at the time. He finally got to bury his father in 2007 at Arlington Cemetery.
If the ex-Vice President wants to question Paul Eaton’s patriotism, he will have to go through me.

I have published an Open Letter to Eric Holder, the US Attorney General, asking him to either properly investigate the 9/11 Attacks or charge me with libel for accusing Dick Cheney of murdering at least 175 innocent American citizens that fateful September morning. Please read the letter, and show your support by asking that the charges be filed against me if the government will not conduct an open investigation to find the true criminals responsible for murdering nearly 3,000 of our fellow countrymen.
