Former Iraq commander indicts Bush Administration and Iraq war: 'A nightmare with no end in sight'

"Who will demand accountability for the failure of our national political leadership involved in the management of this war? They have unquestionably been derelict in the performance of their duty."

"In my profession these types of leaders would immediately be relieved or court martialed."

"The best we can do with this flawed approach is stave off defeat."
--Retired Lt. Gen., former Iraq commander Ricardo Sanchez

"We appreciate his service to the country. As General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker said, there's more work to be done but progress is being made in Iraq. And that's what we're focused on now."
--Kate Starr, National Security Council spokeswoman

"Simply stunning," and "an extraordinary statement from the guy who was running the war," says CNN's Anderson Cooper of indictments being made by the former commander of the Iraq occupation, as reported Friday by the Associated Press.
