Bush May Have Started WWIII

Los Angeles Daily News, Sunday 3-26-06 carries an interview with Delta Force founding memberRetired Command Sergeant Major Eric Haney. Haney has written a book, "Inside Delta Force," the basis for CBS series "The Unit," where he serves as technical Director.

Haney calls the war in Iraq "Utter debacle." And he uses even stronger language, "We have fomented civil war in Iraq. We have probably fomented internecine war in the Muslim world between the Shias and the Sunnis, and I think Bush may well have started the third world war, all for their own personal policies."

As for the torture scandal, Haney says, "That's Cheney's pursuit. The only reason anyone tortures is because they like to do it. It's about vengeance, it's about revenge, or it's about cover-up. You don't gain intelligence that way. Everyone in the world knows that."
