That's been a theme of many milbloggers. I hope it's wrong, since otherwise it means that we will lose the war as a result of enemy psychological warfare and "lawfare."

He advised us strongly against going in to iraq, based in no small part on his own military service in Algeria. Blair is the one who screwed us. us being America. Jaquese Chirac did help us out.
