Who's Cuter? Scary World Bank Imperialist or Not So Smart But Very Correct General?


Vindication -- not the first, not the last, but pretty high profile -- for General Eric Shinseki. Poor old General Shinseki will have to live with the satisifcation of being correct and moral. Paul Wolfowitz on the other hand will have to live with being head of the World Bank.

General Abizaid almost provided some vindication for Gen. Eric Shinseki, the former Army chief of staff, who warned early in the Iraq campaign that several hundred thousand troops would be required to impose stability in Iraq once Saddam Hussein was overthrown.
“General Sinseki was right,” General Abizaid said in response to a question by Senator
Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina.
