More General Newbold
Howard Kurtz takes a look at the General’s tardy dissent.
Newbold, a noted warprofiteer with 3.5 months of experience commanding Marines in harms way, recently came out of the closet and announced his opposition to the war.
Three years after the invasion…
Three years and four months after he left the Marine Corps…
Almost four years after he decided to retire…
He publicly says he thought the invasion of Iraq was wrong.
Obviously he didn’t think it was very wrong, or he would have spoke up sooner.
Why didn’t he stay on and try to correct the course instead of moving toward retirement in June of 2002?
Kurtz’ mile criticism is probably all we can from the legacy media.
And don’t expect anyone in the media to ask Newbold about profiteering off a war he claims to oppose.
