Lt. Gen. Greg Newbold:  "I now regret that I did not more openly
challenge those who were determined to invade a country whose actions were
peripheral to the real threat-al-Qaeda. . [T]he Pentagon's military leaders
. with few exceptions, acted timidly when their voices urgently needed to
be heard. When they knew the plan was flawed, saw intelligence distorted to
justify a rationale for war, or witnessed arrogant micromanagement that at
times crippled the military's effectiveness, many leaders who wore the
uniform chose inaction. . It is time for senior military leaders to discard
caution in expressing their views and ensure that the President hears them
clearly. And that we won't be fooled again."
