said that he had no idea why he was called off and thought he should have been let loose to take Baghdad. Alot of us, at least the guys I was around in the Army at that time, thought the same thing.

Here's an interview from PBS, looks like he towed the GHWB line afterwards, but I swear I remember him saying different during that time frame.
