WASHINGTON (Nov. 21) - Retired Army Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, the top commander in Iraq shortly after the fall of Baghdad, said this week he supports Democratic legislation that calls for most troops to come home within a year.

His comments come as welcomed ammunition for the Democratic-controlled Congress in its standoff with the White House on war spending. This month, the House passed a $50 billion bill that would pay for combat operations but sets the goal that combat end by Dec. 15, 2008. The White House threatened to veto the measure, and Senate Republicans blocked it from passing.

1. Sanchez, the fellow who turned Geoffrey Miller loose in Abu Gharib.
It's nice he's getting his head out of his ass, but he's the guy who allowed Miller to 'Gitmoize' Abu Gharib. Heckofajob, Ricardo.
