WASHINGTON - Angered by Bush administration policies they contend endanger national security, 26 retired U.S. diplomats and military officers are urging Americans to vote President Bush (news - web sites) out of office in November.

The group, which calls itself Diplomats and Military Commanders for Change, does not explicitly endorse Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites) for president in its campaign, which will start officially Wednesday at a Washington news conference.
The Bush-Cheney campaign said Sunday it would have no response until the group formally issues its statement at the news conference.
Among the group are 20 ambassadors, appointed by both Democratic and Republican presidents, other former State Department officials and military leaders whose careers span three decades.

So they 26 surrender monkeys (diplomats) and perfumed princes (military officers) to oppose the President. And they call it news?!
Here in Sierra Vista AZ, I can find hundreds of ex-military who support Bush. Think the media will cover us?
Conversely, there are more then 26 former US officials who will be supporting PresBush with their votes this November.
Some of the other issues these supposedly "neutral" diplomats and generals addressed.
This puts the lie to their identity. They say "neutral." Bringing up these non-military and non-diplomatic issues shouts fairly loudly that they are liberals.
I assume that the networks and AP will give this the same kind of news blackout they gave the swift boat vets.
Indeed. This is a ridiculous item to be making headlines. If they can't come up with something legitimate to negatively attack Bush they simply invent something.
Also according to AP, 250 Swift boat veterans declaring John Kerry unfit to serve is not "news."
The 'former' officials don't bother me, they're partisan democrat hacks. It is the officials still working at State Dept. and in the Defense Dept. that give me great concern because of their treachery. The democrap party will either be soundly rejected for their sedition and treasonous crap this election year, or they will take back the halls of power and this nation will cease to be as it was intended. I, for one, intend to burn the prayer rug the Islamicists try to force upon us when the democrats are through destroying our nation from within.
Uh, I'm sure there are thousands of former officials opposing Bush's re-election, just as there are thousands supporting it. What a waste of everyone's time.

Swift Boat Veterans and the Media Iron Curtain
I can't be bothered paying attention to these people, when the media pays no attention to veterans FOR Bush.
Yep... unfortunately it is the liberal media that shapes the swint voters. What can WE do to open their eyes?
Gen. Hoar was Howard Dean's military advisor for his campaign. Nuff said.
The Nazis once published a petition called "100 Scientists Against Einstein", an anti-Semitic tract against the theory of relativity. When asked about it Einstein replied, "If I was wrong, one would have been enough."
The librats have been "inventing" all manner of things to throw at Bush for the last 3-1/2 years. In the next 4-1/2 months expect them to reach new heights of absurdity.
Yes, GW has some pretty screwed up ideas regarding immigration that could very well spell a security problem - but do they honestly believe that the alternative is far better for security? Someone who personally gave aid and comfort to the enemy at a time of war...
So? Why should I get jacked about this?
There are two issues in my mind. The war on terror and lower taxes.
There are only two canidates, sKerry and Pres Bush. I wonder which canidate will meet my hopes for less terror and lower taxes, huhmmmmmmm?
How many are already on the record for providing aid and comfort to the enemy?
