All three have utterly no qualifications to render judgment on a Counter Insurgency mission. So their transparent regurgitation of the Democrat Party talking points is an utter waste of our time and band-with.

Who ever came up with the phrase "armed chair Generals" is a genius. This article illustrates this very well.

Meaningless article without context.

Comments from "Retired" politicians (retired military are essentially just that) is old school media nonsense.

Who did they work for, what is their political affiliations and to whom do their monetary contributions flow?

What is at stake for them if the parties they complain about leave office?

Agendas; follow the money.

John, It seems you post here to try to get more hits on your blog. I could be wrong, but that is the way it seems.

Restore Civility in Debate, Politics and Government By John E. Carey September 25, 2006

REALLY funny that the above article is written by the same person who just posted a complete ad hominen attack on Secretary of Defense Rumsfield.

Restore Civility? You first.

The article is deliberately misleading - the panel was composed entirely of Democrats, so no general was testifying to "Congress."

It was no "congressional committee."

There is a reason we have a forum for Bloggers and Personals. These sorts of post belongs there, not in News.

Two 2-star generals and a colonel. Is that all they could come up with? In the general ranks, a 2-star is like the non-comm who never gets promoted beyond staff sergeant. They are all, at some level, a non-hacker.

How many active Generals are there...have any of them stepped forward...and inactive. I bet there is close to 1,000 current and former generals. So they three or four to say Rummy should go? My, aren't they brave.

A dog-and-pony show but on by Senate Democrats. These former generals should have more professional pride than to act like such political whores.

It appears that any one that attempts to reform the bloated and inefficient beraucracy of the pentagon is going to encounter a stiff head wind.

These retired military men and their Democrat handlers need to shut up. Can anyone imagine this happening in the course of a past war?

Among the 3 of them they've only got 4 stars.

And it wasn't before "congress." It was before a democratic group called so they could get a headline that said, "retired generals before congress."

Democratic Campaign committee working overtime to create news.
