A top retired US general has labeled the “surge” strategy in Iraq a “nightmare with no end”.

In the bluntest assessment of Iraq by a former senior Pentagon official yet, retired Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez also lambasted US political leaders as “incompetent”, “corrupted”, “derelict in the performance of their duty” and suggested they would have been court martialled had they been members of the US military.

Wonder what Sanchez’s background is…
