The Ultimate Perfumed Prince.
I'd take one of the "real guy" Swift Vets over ten thousand of his type.
So, what is it? Or is this plan secret, too?
Did John Kerry disclose his secret plan that he keeps in his magic hat to McPeak. ? Because if Kerry has a strategy to make America safer he hasnt divulged to the rest of us.
I don't have to read the article. I assume the General has been offered some kind of cushy job in the Kerry Administration.
Gee...when can we expect the "mainstream" [sic] press to attack this guy and impugn his reputation and honor?
Oh...right...never.
Is he guessing or did Kerry show McPeak his secret plans? Sure hasn't shown the public.
The Kerry campaign is based on ghosts and innuendos. Often candidates rely on these to attack opponents. Kerry relies on them for his own policy plank!
We in the AF were so ashamed when this yahoo embarrassed us as Chief of Staff. LOSER endorsing a loser.
McPeak has always been a problem. He was a loose cannon when he was Chief of Staff of the Air Force.
My husband is in the AF, and doesn't have a very high opinion of Gen. McPeak. Never has, although I don't know why, he won't say.
I know McPeak backed Democrat Howard Dean in the 2004 race for president.
No offense, but he's Air Force ... 'nuff said ...
Their plan is to issue each soldier a purple heart every week to boost morale.
Kerry says it worked for him.
If America hopes to win the war in Iraq, it must double its force size and be ready to remain there for up to a century, said a retired general who led the U.S. Air Force during the first war against Iraq.
Retired Gen. Merrill "Tony" McPeak said President Bush vastly underestimated the troop needs of the war, adding that Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry is not likely to make the same mistake.
"Kerry's squared away on security matters," McPeak said.

In sign of the Kerry campaign's determination to rebut the criticism, it also issued a statement signed by 10 former senior military officials, including McPeak and Clark, denouncing Cheney's attacks as "gutter" politics.

Retired Air Force Gen. Merrill "Tony" McPeak said John Kerry has the potential to be "one of the great commanders in chief we've ever had." McPeak said he met with Kerry before endorsing him.
"I found that he's a very, very common sense guy (with) a deep understanding of these problems," McPeak said, adding that Kerry's father was a diplomat and the candidate spent a lot of time overseas. "He's not a novice in international affairs, these are not simple problems, they are complicated problems. They require a kind of nuanced thinking, a nuanced approach. And he's capable of that kind of intellectual depth."

Hey, General, sir! What is Mr. Kerry's plan? Obviously, you must know what it is if you think it will make us safer! What's the plan??
It wouldn't happen to be this, would it?
But did Mcpeak serve ON Kerry's boat? /sarcasm off
Well I'm glad he's shared that strategy with you General, 'cause he sure hasn't shared it with the people of this country yet.
"...a real strategy to make America safer."
And what IS that strategy General? I bet he hasn't a clue.
This guy wants a job from Kerry.
Wasn't McPeak behind the Yugoslav ir war? If so he is another war criminal (General Clark being the other) who endorses an admitted war criminal - Kerry.
