There are many. Ralph Peters for example, although he disagrees with how it was done.

Who is Ralph Peters? When was he a member of the Joint Chiefs or a commander of a Unified Command? In the meantime, keep going. Provide this long list of Generals who agree with letting Osama bin Laden go free. Even Tom Clancy and the General Fred Franks who commanded the Seventh Corp (that liberated Kuwait by crushing the 1991 Republican Guards) speak with contempt for the agendas of our mental midget president. As does Gen Frank's boss at that time, Norman Swartzkopf. And so do Central Command Generals who preceded and succeeded Swartzkopf in that position.
Where, pray tell, do we find a General of any consequence who agrees with George Jr's agenda? Especially the part about going after Saddam rather than capturing bin Laden. Contempt even when his administration still encourages lies that Saddam conspired to attach the WTC. Where do we find all these retired generals who agree with the president? Need we go so far down the ranks as to find Gen Janis L. Karpinski's retired predecessor to find support for George Jr?
One of the original authors of the Iraqi invasion was Bill Kristol of the Weekly Standard. He who even wanted Iraq invaded says this administration screwed it all up. He even used the word 'incompetant' in his description of how the Iraqi invasion was handled. It was not something you would expect from a Vulcan. But that is how much George Jr's administration has screwed up American international relations.
The intelligent people are roundly saying this administration needs be replaced. Unfortunately that is not the majority of Americans - yet. Too many listen to talk radio - lying by telling half truths - propaganda; then feel they are informed. Eventually they too will see how incompetant this administration has become. Hopefully before November.
We really should not have to go through the 1970s again. And Americans overseas really cannot continue to be so unpopular as they have been only for the past couple of years. We desperately need to fix the decades of work that George Jr destroyed in only 3 years. How did he do it? In part by lying about weapons of mass destruction and getting even members of the Cellar to believe his outright and intentional lies. Even undermining the Oslo Accords. Incompentant and lies so bad that international political professionals are even doing something that professional diplomats and generals do not do - call for the removal of the president.
