Nothing whatsoever in what you responded to as "Bull****" in any way
challenged what was said.

Brooks said that General Shenseki was retired when he said that "several
hundred thousand" troops would be needed for the Iraqi operation.

My quote substantiated that General Shenseki was still on active duty.

That was either a lie or a mistake. Either falls into the category of
"Bull****."

As for you, I have no idea what your disconnect is.
