Oswald is one name that quickly comes to mind.
Murtha is another.
So,IMO,if General Jones proves himself in the coming months to be in the same league as Murtha then we shouldn't be *completely* surprised.

This Could Be Interesting [Jonah Goldberg]
From the IHT:
“Yet all three of his choices - Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton as the rival turned secretary of state, General James Jones, the former NATO commander as national security adviser and Robert Gates, the current and future defense secretary - were selected in large part because they have embraced a sweeping shift of resources in the national security arena.
The shift, which would come partly out of the military’s huge budget, would create a greatly expanded corps of diplomats and aid workers that, in the vision of the incoming Obama administration, would be engaged in projects around the world aimed at preventing conflicts and rebuilding failed states.
Me: Well, that civilian national security force has to start somewhere.
Good grief, why would you slander the General with absurd comparisons to Oswald and Murtha. He’s got a forty year military record, plus a couple post retirement assignments for the Bush administration. Simply criticize the many failures you find there. If you can’t find any, that’s the end of it.
No, I am not asking that question. I am asking why a Marine patriot would align himself with a Marxist thug.
>If the basic question here is..”is General Jones worthy of the title of United States Marine?”<
I’m thinking that if General Jones was anti New World Order he wouldn’t have the position that he is now. Nor would any of the senior staff of any of our military forces.
Get ready for a relaxing of our national sovereignty standards. The UN Charter is being lined up to take over where our Constitution used to reside.
