The only "criticism" that Williams cites is a hawkish one: they should have sent more troops in. The fact that there were not more troops to be sent in is somehow irrelevant. Williams does not even begin to fathom the criticism that the generals were engaged in paid propaganda. Like most of today's TV anchors, Williams is simply not smart enough to understand the issues that are associated with the power of the position he's in.
That's not a coincidence. Most TV anchors are selected for their intellectual malleability and their ability to adhere to the corporate viewpoint. Any pretense of putting journalistic responsibilities ahead of their obligations to their employer went out the window decades ago.
