SEEEEE-YA JANIS

Over the weekend, the news broke that Brigadier General Janis Karpinski, U.S. Army Reserve, was reduced in rank to colonel for her colossal leadership failure that contributed to Abu Graib. The former commander of the 800th MP Brigade blamed Richardo Sanchez, the ground commander in Iraq, saying he did not like her because she was a reservist and a woman, sure signs of desperation, as if General Sanchez would want to make his own job more difficult by preventing her from doing hers. The investigation turned up a few problems for Karpinski such as a charge of shoplifting cometics from an Air Force PX while she was being considered for promotion. This provides the ignoble end to her career it deserves.
