You know what they say about "opinions", don't you?
One has to debate from strength and with facts.
Is that something your therapist suggested?
Zinni is turning out to be a real POS backstabber.
Later he tries to Kerry around that with his neo-paleo double speak but still doesn't answer the question.
He uses the standard liberal anti-war talking points and also one of their trademarks, "k".
Hmmmmmm. If it walks like Michael Moore, talks like Michael Moore and smells like Michael Moore?
Zinni is a legend in his own mind. Powell appointed him as a Middle East envoy to act as an on-site go between with Sharon and Arafat to try to stop the intifada. I question his diplomatic skills and regional expertise. He is another one of these prima donna generals who think the only good ideas come from them. I received a briefing from him in 1999 and thought he was an arrogant a##hole.
Yes, to no surprise to anyone who knew anything about him before. Of course he does have his cheerleaders on this thread.
I did a quick search on just the term "Amerika" and found a whole plethora of instances of it on FR.

They even made a TV movie called "Amerika" something or other about the negative socialization in the country.
Obviously you don't know what you're talking about, so go yank someone elses chain...
So what "kamp" is the that you represent. You know, the "kamp" you claim is a majority over Conservative American's who support the war?
IIRC, it was a TV miniseries about a Soviet takeover of the US. It was made in the late 80's.
I tried it and all I got was a bunch of liberal anti-war BS.
(shrug) I think that he will probably have something valuable to contribute, and, given his experience in the ME, he might have a good plan. Worth a listen and a quick read.
I was part of the advance team at Bitburg. No speech writer ever set up the ceremony. It is a long story, but the media distorted what happened.
I've been involved in politics far longer than you have been and you're already disillusioned? Summer soldier?
Knowledge of history is indispensable for this kind of debate,so are facts and an understanding of politics.Opinions are a dine a dozen and really don't matter;not your's,not mine,not anyone's...unless they are fact based.
He's "popular"?
Might have just been timing, pat got the axe right after that. I know he was having a running battle with some of the younger writers at the time, folks like Peggy Noonan. Maybe that was his downfall.
As popular as the Kerryesque Poet here. Popular with the very same crowd.
Or just someone who thinks he's due the limelight now? I haven't figured this all out yet.
Opinions are a dine a dozen and really don't matter;not your's,not mine,not anyone's...unless they are fact based.
That's exactly why I posted the facts concerning Zinni...soemthing other people on this thread seemed to be sorely lacking in.
Agree or disagree with his position, don't attack the, or any, man with meritless slander.
