Ritter's made many mistakes, but are you saying he was wrong about WMD, and is also wrong about IED's, the subject of the article?

The article you posted makes similar points, even if with less specificity, it seems to me.

After six months of light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel propaganda from the Bush administration...I’m convinced few generals on the ground in Iraq understand either the nature of insurgency warfare in general or their specific terrorist enemy.

The conventional generals like Odierno should be replaced by mainly Special Forces leaders, both from the active and retired ranks, who comprehend the war at hand. Leaders who’d drop the silly charges against Col. West in a heartbeat so he could get on with winning his piece of this ugly war.

Wow.
Looks like Hack has changed his mind about SF.
