Abizaid had a remarkable record until he had to become political. His Middle Eastern studies degrees had a lot to do with his later promotions, but his record prior was stout. After becoming more political, he went straight downhill.The two generals who let Iraq turn into a clusterf*ck under their watch? Is that all you got?
He is nothing but a Clintonite. Clinton got him everywhere he was ever going to be. He a very bright and very talented guy, but is a politico through and through.
He's far from an idiot, but his military career was finished at MG had Clinton himself not effectively promoted Clark to LTG.He is slightly more than that
I disagree with many of his decisions but to hear so many (not you) dismiss the guy as some sort of complete idiot in the media always gives me a good chuckle
With that said, he will never and should never be President of the US
