(2003-04-13!!) -- U.S. Gen. Tommy Franks said today that he can't wait to retire so he'll have a better understanding of what's going on with U.S. military operations.

"Retired generals have better operational information than I do," said Gen. Franks. "When I give a news conference now, everything I say is doubted by the reporters. But when I'm retired, the big news media will hire me to talk about what's really going on in the theater of operations. I'm just not in the loop right now."

Franks had been considered a leading candidate for the top army job of chief of staff (emph DJ), which opens in June. Associates doubted he would want the position and Franks said recently the job title sounded "very interesting" but "not on my scope."
______________

my conclusions: he had his share of pies in his face and decided, long enough time ago, to pull back when it's still half-way normal. Probably knows of plans of other kind of > storm < operations down the road.

btw, is it true that WWF asked Rummy to become their honorary president;P?
