Peter's complaint about Rules of Engagement

I find this piece by Ralph Peters to be hypocritical. He talks about caring for the troops but where was he 4 years ago. This piece is designed to attack the present administration nothing more. This is an administration that has done more to support the troops in Afghanistan that Bush ever did.

It is also an administration that is undertaking a thorough evaluation of our mission and purpose in Afghanistan. The internal debate has been reported on widely and I say it is a good thing and long overdue. Our troops deserve a clear mission statement, a definition of victory and an exit strategy. We did not have this with the Bush Administration and I agree with Peters that that was immoral but where was he then?
