Obama: I disagree with aide who blamed 'NY, Miami' for failed peace talks

"Is he really a retired Air Force general??"

If I had to guess, he was a volunteer for some of the first high altitude, oxygen deprivation research.

McPeak is living proof that not every General is wise, disciplined and competent. He might end up making Sanchez and Abizaid look like military geniuses by comparison.

People with no military experience tend to treat all Generals like they all earned some incredibly level of respect automatically and their views are somehow wise by default. But Generals are like Senators. They got there by being politicians in many cases and not by being actual commanders of anything important and they were able to be incompetent and untrusting of their own troops. Just like many Senators got there without having built any kind of real record of accomplishment and are literally no smarter than the average person in a mall in their district.

Having McPeak as his primary military adviser is proving that Obama doesn’t have the chops to even be considered for this job. Not only doesn’t he know a good general from a bad one but he doesn’t know what makes one good and one bad.

Barack Obama. You’ve surrounded yourself with racists, bigots, and prejudiced haters. What are people of good conscience *supposed* to think? That none of their opinions inform your own?

That is EXACTLY what his "I HAVE AN EXCUSE" speech,,,

and his other comments (refusing to disown a hateful racist like Wright) defending Wright have said.

1. Do you believe that the US has any alliance with a country not bound by voting block? If so, has it occurred to you that there might be reasons other tan those damn loud Jews and Christian Zionists for American support for Israel?
2. You do realize that there are far more Christian Zionists than Jewish ones. General Airhead doesn't.
