Sanchez on Iraq errors: "Don't blame me, I was just a general"

Politics – To hear retired Gen. Ricardo Sanchez explain it, the mistakes of the Iraq war that happened while he was in command weren't his fault. Not Abu Ghraib, not the birth of the insurgency, not the decision to let rebel Muqtada al Sadr survive. According to him, a general's job is to give advice. What civilian leaders decide is out of a general's hands.
