THAT'S the real 64 dolla' question...I was hoping he didn't join Joe Hoar and Tony Zinni and some other heavys that have publicly sided against Bush because of Rumsfeld....

I'm not going to buy this, but I'd like to read Zinni's intro to the book...

Inside CentCom: The Unvarnished Truth About the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq
by Michael DeLong, Noah Lukeman, Tony Zinni (Introduction)
