Sanchez is being rotated out, but the weird thing is the language used to describe his performance
President Bush praised Sanchez during a photo opportunity in the Oval Office. “Rick Sanchez has done a fabulous job,” the president said as he met with a group of Iraqis. “He’s been there for a long time. His service has been exemplary.”
At the Pentagon, Larry Di Rita, chief spokesman for Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, said both Rumsfeld and Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. Richard Myers “are very impressed with the work Gen. Sanchez performed from the very beginning” of his service in Iraq. Sanchez took command there in May 2003.
Am I missing something here? A fabulous job? In what way?
Is this what a Gentleman’s C is?
Generally I’m willing to cut the brass some slack here, but what exactly has Sanchez done a fabulous job of? Perhaps this is why the Dear Mr. Rumsfeld continues to be employed?
