Shinseki to Lead Veterans Affairs
Retired Gen. Eric K. Shinseki, once the Army chief of staff, has been selected by President-elect Barack Obama to be Veterans Affairs secretary. Shinseki, the first Japanese-American four-star general in the Army, was so despised by the Bush administration that the Associated Press calls him a "Rumsfeld nemesis." Shinseki "was marginalized and later retired" in 2003 after his estimate of troops needed in Iraq was far higher than that professed by Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz.
