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!

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.....

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.

Caught the tail end of that.

The General was of his meds or something.

The general knows a lot less than he knows -- and he knows it -- but to no avail. He can't come up with plausible outcomes in the future or even facts about Saddam's past regime. So why is he being interview except to voice an opinion that he can't really argue about.

One of the worst points is making nice with our allies -- but if they were our allies wouldn't they already be helping us out in Iraq. Basically, he wants the US to suck up to Europe. As well, old school detente thinking with Iranian fanatics don't help.

Hewitt had a lot of fun on this one and the general wanted to go home or appear on the Larry King show where he'd be asked, "What is up with the Nicole Smith thing anyway? We haven't much time, but what do you think?"

I understand what he is saying regard to internal Iraqi deaths. But I think we need to stay for geo-strategic-political implication's, even if only a 2 division sized blended force.

I'm starting to hate Hugh Hewit. With all these people he has been interviewing lately, my faith in the country is falling apart rapidly.

WO: I don’t know. I’m prepared to accept whatever it looks like, if it’s not killing Americans, and we’re not losing U.S. resources, because eventually, it will settle out out there, and our capacity to help it settle out earlier with allies will be greatly improved.

And there you have it...the inherent racism of the Left...as long it is just brown skinned people dying and not Americans it doesn't really matter how many hundreds of thousands or even millions of them die. The left are liars...they don't really care about human life...every argument they make proves they don't.

During his career in 'military intelligence', the good general was involved in, among other things, the Stargate remote viewing project. If you believe guys 'coordinating' on couches constitutes a credible intelligence capability, you can believe this guy.

...we are the cause that that situation exists today.

Before that statement he just sounded stupid and callous. He's a Copperhead.

I regret few things more than that Hugh Hewitt is a conservative voice. He makes my skin crawl with his “look how many words I can say before I have to draw breath”, Harvarditis, terrier attitude. God, I wish he were a liberal so he would leave the airwaves. The only reason I tune in his show is because his guests are great. Hewitt himself is a colossal ignoramus. I mean, does anyone know less about literature and movies? Yet he pontificates on both from a perch of absolute ignorance. It makes for some really horrible radio on a daily basis.
