Just released report today, basically says Iraq War was a big fat boondoggle.
Nothing surprising about that.
What is surprising is the source, the NDU, part of our staff college system for upper ranking officers.
I'd say somebody didn't get the memo, or someone is making sure all the right asses are covered. In the memo it seems Rumsfeld was (rightfully) hung out to dry, but it missed a few other big names that seem to have been sainted (Franks and Shinseki). It also doesn't mention torture or Blackwater scandals as part of the aftermath.
Lots of progress it seems, even hard-core cheerleaders are coming around to how much BS was the Iraq invasion.
