Wilkerson also stressed the "extremely powerful" influence of what he called the "Oval Office cabal" of Cheney and Rumsfeld, both former secretaries of defense with a long-standing personal and professional relationship.

He said they both were members of the "military-industrial complex" that former president, Dwight Eisenhower, warned the nation against in his 1961 farewell address.

2. Wilkerson Is Dynamite

Clip this testimony and article...especially if you run into wingnuts who claim this is all a partisan witch-hunt.

Wilkerson is as Repugnican as they come. He supported the invasion and has said he doesn't favor any withdrawl. This is not a "peacenik" here...this is a man who was right in the thick of things...seeing what many of us did...total corruption, negligence and arrogance by the Executive branch.

This also looks like the first breech from the long silent military community...that is both compromised and coward by this regime...to speak about the total incompetence in the invasion and occupation of Iraq and how this has destroyed the morale of the military.
