He was a Major General at the time....I can't find anything regarding his involvement pre-invasion.

Gen. Casey, who he replaced, was actually promoted to the position of Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army. Is it common for anyone that doesn't agree with the radical left wing to be considered a "puppet"?

You should look more at the current Congress/Senate. THEY passed his nomination through with a unanimous vote knowing full well he was "pro-surge". NOW that he returns with a report that doesn't fair well for them at the polls he's a liar??? Come on now!

Have a good one!:s4:
