These generals remind me of Prussian generals who privately opposed Hitler but publicly did all his murderous work.

It’s just too damned bad they were so worried about their careers and didn’t speak out earlier. It would have saved a lot of young lives.

Typical. People who could have said something, done something, did nothing when it might have mattered. Only after they retire/quit, and it no longer matters, do they develop consciences about what they abetted.
I have bad news for these guys: your soul is already gone. It’s too late, you can’t get it back. Regrets mean nothing. Suffer with the fact that you made the world a more miserable place.
People like this make me wish there really were a Hell.

Plato said that only the dead have seen the end of war. War is unfortunate but inevitable and the only control we have is choosing when to strike. The aggressive policy taken by the administration was obviously a mistake, keeping us from the real problem: al-Quaida.

If the agitators for war were the first victims, we could rid the world of the plague of war.
