Retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez who commanded the coaltion forces in Iraq in 2003 and 2004, calls the war in Iraq a nightmare and says that American politicians cost the lives of soldiers in Iraq.

He says that as an officer he had the duty to not question order but to simply perform them and now that he is retired he feels it is his duty to speak out and inform others.

He notes that we are forgetting a big lesson we learned in World War 2 and that is victory can not be had by pure military power. He said, that if officers of the military conducted their business like American politicians they would be court martialed.

He pointed out that we have been fighting for more than 4 years and that even now we are no closer to ending the conflict.
