BBC: US general damns Iraq 'nightmare'

BBC NEWS | Middle East | US general damns Iraq 'nightmare': "A former US military chief in Iraq has condemned the current strategy in the conflict, which he warned was 'a nightmare with no end in sight'. Retired Lt Gen Ricardo Sanchez also labelled US political leaders as 'incompetent' and 'corrupted'. He said they would have faced courts martial for dereliction of duty had they been in the military. The best the US could manage under the current approach in Iraq was to 'stave off defeat', Gen Sanchez warned."
