Bacevich lost his son, the Bush twins and nephew make the gossip pages. The opinions of Webb,Duncan,McClown and the Tillman’s have more weight than the Critter and Max Boot.

CO: Well, letâ€™s credit Prof Bacevich for taking the usual Monday morning quarterbacking at least as far as Tuesday morning…

As opposed to the Republican plan of no quarterback at all.

I just love our some on the Right — while keeping their “plans” just as vague — cry foul that there is no “plans” or “details” from the Left. Then when any is mentioned they deride it as “Monday morning quarterbacking”.

Shaun, I agree regarding the Crittenden post. Frankly I’m suprised MVG hasn’t linked to it approvingly from here yet.

Jules Crittenden has posted an especially loathsome (even for him) response to Bacevich's op-ed.

Prof Bacevich was warning against this folly in 2002. How you consider that “monday morning quarterbacking” is beyond me.

Was Shinseki also channeling 20/20 hindsight in his warnings about troop level requirements?

Well, let’s credit Prof Bacevich for taking the usual Monday morning quarterbacking at least as far as Tuesday morning…….”We need to do something different in the future.”

Also nice to see him suggest the Dems are nothing more than neocon-globalists in-waiting.
