U.S. Senator Ernest Hollings made a rather forceful critique of operation Enduring Freedom. Here is an excerpt, with a detail I have not heard anywhere else:
With more than 800 GIs killed, 5,000 maimed for life and a cost of $200 billion, come now the generals in command, both Richard Myers and John Abizaid, saying we can't win. Back home the cover of The New Republic magazine asks, "Were We Wrong?".
The United States Has Lost its Moral Authority
Did Myers and Abizaid say we can't win in Iraq? I hadn't heard that.
