What the heck is so precious about this guy? We didn’t elect him, he’s just an employee. The mission he haas isn’t going so well, what’s the matter with changing things around? I mean, what’s the goal? Winning or saving Rummy’s job?
In my experience, good army officers don’t criticize outside of the chain of the command, and not often within it. These generals are some of our finest officers, in strategic and logistic positions during this war. They paid the price to be able to speak out. To ignore them is to ignore some of the brightest, most experienced, loyal men this country has produced. We do so at our peril. What does it hurt to listen?

Solitaire, listening to them and others is fine. It’s the selective listening that’s disturbing.

Did you read the link from a post on Malkin’s site from a man named “themarine”? I don’t know how to link things or I’d gladly do so,(sorry) but it’s a very respectful as well as thoughtful reply to General Vinni, that I think you might like to read.

Generals Sour Grapes Makes Good Whine

Charles Krauthammer gives an intelligent discourse on the move to remove the SecDef.
There are three possible complaints that the military brass could have against a secretary of defense. The first is that he doesn’t listen to or consult military…

stackja: That’s this week or was it this year. There’s a policy for every circumstance that fits the NOD (need ofthe day). The moral relativism movies, like watching someone flip through a rolladex at high speed……..AH HA! We got one! Send this out right away!

Krauthhammer has some very good points and here is an article by Oliver North that helps back up Krauthhammer’s points about these Generals.

How do you beat a guy in a wheelchair? This Zionist is, as usual, wrong on all points. Rumsfeld’s plan was not correct. Rumsfeld junked the 10 year plan the military had produced. Rumsfeld had no “after” war plan. The condition of Iraq today, is the result of the Rumsfeld Plan and the condition is a debacle. This country grants the right to free speech. The generals retired and excercised there right to free speech as all good Americans should. The Left says, better late then never. Peace

– Just another one of Steve-oh’s bigotrys Forest. He doesn’t think anyone in a wheel chair should be allowed to speak, or could possibly have anything worthwhile to say. Especially if hes Jewish. Steve is an equal opportunity bigot.

Bang, how do the mindless steves get around? What type of device is used to transport them? The only thing I can think of is a 4″ pvc pipe, 1/4″ per foot of fall and hopefully, as ventless as they are sightless.

Let’s multiply number of dump Rummy generals by 10. What we have left is 4600 generals. To ignore these 4600 generals solitaire is to ignore some of the brightest, most experienced, loyal men this country has produced.

Nothing in your posts are less than ridiculous. If you want quality responses, try posting quality posts with truthful substance. You can have a liberal point of view without being ridiculously bigoted, hateful, and full of name calling.
