A Quote Backfires
Michael Ledeen quotes a famous general complaining that
we have appointed our worst generals to command forces, and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers!
I think it's Michael's attempt to persuade people that what the media is reporting - the failure of the surge in Iraq - is to be ignored in favor of generals who know how to win the war. Except the quote is from Robert E. Lee. D'oh!
