Sanchez Speaks on Iraq war 4 Years too late

Ex-commander calls Iraq war 'nightmare' - The Boston Globe:

"Sanchez said he was convinced the American effort in Iraq was failing the day after he took command, in June 2003. Asked why he waited until nearly a year after his retirement to voice his concerns publicly, he responded that it was not the place of active-duty officers to challenge lawful orders from civilian authorities."

One of my least favorite sayings, "It's always been done this way."
