tekboy, do you have a source on what Nash would do about the situation in Iraq? If he makes the criticism, then he must be able to offer a possible solution. Surely he doesn't think that Saddam could be allowed to continue to murder thousands of Iraqi's each year, does he? Or to continue with his WMD program? And in particular, I would like to see Nash's thoughts on Saddam's Salman Pak and other terrorist training grounds in Iraq...
If he is now retired, he must have been in the military for some time, and worked under previous administrations as well. Is there a vehicle for our government to listen to Generals who have retired now, but may still be able to offer constructive help to any given world situation (other than go to the media)? Would they go to State or to the Defense Department?
I was able to find his bio on the web:
