I always thought it was because he was well spoken but way over his head and was in place more for his reputation and not his ability. He is an example of why affirmative action is bad, were he white he would have gone no where to start with.
I'm also quite willing to bet if he were a white man the left wouldnt' have fallen so much in love with the guy.
He has charisma, he has character, he has that special 'something' but when it came to what he did, both sides have to view him as a failure, though I think they left views him more harshly.

Sorry Ustwo, I completely disagree. You do not get to be the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs because of affirmitive action, you do not get past Colonel because of affirmitive action.
This man has my respect, I don't blame anyone for what happened. None of us know what conversations go on behind closed doors. America still respects him, and he'll still be around politically for years to come because of that.
