I heard part of it earlier and switched back to FM after a few minutes. I think the good General is off his meds.
You should have heard it. Throughout the whole interview, I just wanted to slap him and yell "SHUT UP!!!!" He had the nastiest tone of voice throughout the whole interview - for some reason, he sounded totally exasperated, like, WHY are you asking me all these questions. He was horrible - IF anyone spoke like that to me, I'd shut him down immediately. I was mad throughout the whole interview. And to top it off - besides his tone being so horrible, his answers were to callous, so condescending, so, I don't know, so nasty. He was just ugly. Distinguished, my foot! He sure didn't deserve THAT honorable description. What a creep!
Weasely Clark wannabe.
his answers were to callous = his answers were SO callous
Absolutely terrifying. This retired General just doesn't give a damn how many die as long as we just give up and slink away. Awful. No consideration whatsoever for the benefits of a stable democratic nation in the mideast, no consideration for the innocents who will be slaughtered for supporting their new government or for voting or for even having smiled at one of our soldiers, no consideration for our credibility as a nation, and, worst of all, no consideration for the sacrifice which has freed Iraq and is helping it establish itself. No doubt he's served honorably, but he should just hang it up now. I'm sure he's a darling of the looney loser left.
As a Boomer--Memo to Boomers--- shut up sit down and let the Vietnam thing go. It's not Vietnam it's the blood thirsty, death worshiping, stupidly violent pro 8th Century Middle East. Thank God our newest generation of the military get it. God there are days when it is so damned embarrassing to be from the most spoiled, self absorbed generation in history.....
Now why would ANYONE use the search engine when you can just post a dupicate thread! :-)
I normaly do do a search but this time (for some unknown reason) I didn't.
How in the hell did such a hopeless person get up through the ranks of the armed forces like this guy did?
Soldier: "General! The enemies are shooting at us with real weapons"
The General: "Let's retreat. It's hopeless, we can't win. This place would be better off if we lose anyway..."
Looks/sounds like the 'General' is trying to line up a retirement career as a MSM "Military commentator sound byte specialist."
Disgraceful REMF.
Some of us in 'other time zones' miss posts. We appreciate your post Valin.
I'm sure he's a darling of the looney loser left.
For what it's worth he's quoted on the Huffongton post and LewRockwell.com
SEE! Some people appreciate me. all the better sorts of people I mean. :-)
No kidding. Bunch of grey-haired, pony-tailed (at least in their own bald-headed minds), stupid old loser hippies, still pretending they matter by trying to re-create their long-gone drug-addled glory days in the 60s while discrediting and vilifying the United States during Vietnam. And I'm a boomer, too, so I know whereof I speak.
Don`t understand the self appointed posting police? Guess they must have nothing else to do. I misse d the earlier post, so thanks. Now, drop the Al Franken stuff.
"Anyone who can remember the 60's wasn't there."
Grace Slick
Caught the tail end of that.
The General was of his meds or something.
Heh. I was there, all right; I just wasn't stoned out of my mind.
Well that makes one of us. Let's just say there are large gaps in the old memory between 68-74.
