"We should’ve used more diplomatic solutions," he said, including the United Nations. "Our leaders rushed into this like it was now or never. There was no reason for that."

Weymer did say the U.S. pulled off "a great military victory. We did a good thing. It’s good Saddam Hussein is gone. But the person who did attack our nation (Osama bin Laden) is still out there."

Weymer said if some of the approximately 140,000 U.S. soldiers in Iraq had been placed in Afghanistan, "they would’ve helped capture the man who attacked our country, the man who actually perpetrated Sept. 11."

Weymer, who fueled helicopters and trucks at an air base in Iraq, said he thought to himself, "Something’s fishy here" when he saw employees of Kellogg, Brown and Root, a unit of Halliburton Company, coming in to take over his unit’s fueling duties.
