[bodytext] => US general damns Iraq 'nightmare' BBC - Saturday October 13, 2007 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. 'There is no question that America is living a nightmare with no end in sight,' he said, addressing journalists at Arlington, near Washington. Sanchez comes with a history, that cannot be denied He presided over Abu Ghraib with Rumsfeld by his side Still and all he was there, in Iraq when the going was rough So his views count for something and on Bush & Co, he’s pretty tough ‘Incompetent’ and ‘corrupted’, these are two of his well-chosen words ‘Dereliction of duty’, a few more for the White House birds He calls the surge a “desperate attempt” and the best may be to “stave off defeat” He is now an outsider, an independent and seems willing to take the heat We must decide, is this just sour grapes? A career that went into decline and dived Or is he telling the simple truth of how the tragedy of Iraq arrived?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
