Franks: Afghan Retreat Would Unleash the Rooster
While President Obama ponders a new report about the U.S. war against the Taliban in Afghanistan, some critics are questioning the wisdom of sending more troops there, while others are advocating a timetable for withdrawal. But retired Army Gen. Tommy Franks, who led the U.S. attack on Afghanistan and Iraq in the wake of Sept. 11, has a warning for the cut-and-run crowd. “If we bail out, the rooster will come home in a way that will make 9/11 look like a warm-up exercise,” Franks said today in Dallas. He made the comment leaving a luncheon hosted by the National Center for Policy Analysis, where he’s a board member.

Wish that Franks would have made that argument in 2002-03 when he quietly went along with the Bush-Rumsfelt decision to cut and run from the Afghanistan battlefield and start a dubious war in Iraq. Now the rooster is crowing from that decision.
Gen. Tommy Franks is such a butch spokesmodel for America.
