[Former Military Chick]

She is retired and with that comes the ability to vocally express her direct opposition with the current administration but is still cuts like a knife as I read it.

I would spit on her boots, but, remember that is DOD property. But she is retired so ......

[x1stcav]

She has a son? Who would've ever guessed?

[Semper Paratus]

The only General in US history who got upset over a sexual advance.

"Lt. Gen. Claudia Kennedy told a group of 15 at a downtown Colorado Springs coffee shop "

I'm sure all newspapers send a reporter to groups of 15 holding a meeting. </sarcasm>

[Michael Goldsberry]

Somehow I just can't get over that last name. "Kennedy"

I think I've heard that one somewhere before...

[RippleFire]

Clintoon's favorite general

[rj45mis]

Promoted under a democratic administration, huh? Geez, I wonder if she was ever a guest at the WH?

[dirtboy]

She's an idiot. From a November 2001 interview:

CK: We also need to recognize that this isn't going to be a campaign to seize territory, but a campaign to stake out a political and ideological victory. Any effort to reinvigorate homeland defense will fail if it doesn't take into account that terrorist attacks are motivated by cultural and ideological differences - that the real target is our way of life. We need to start our homeland defense at the root of terrorist activity. The climate for terrorism is set in enclaves of people who are deprived, insecure, and believe they lack power and influence.

Yep, she eshews the liberal line as to both the root causes of terrorism and the proper response to it.

“I have some Republican friends who have decided to vote for Kerry,” Kennedy said.

Well, I have some Democrat friends who are going to vote for Bush.

Careful, it's hell cleaning it out of your keyboard!

that's experience talkin'

For those of you who don't remember her, Lt Gen Claudia Kennedy filed sexual harassment charges against a male Army major general. He filed sexual harassment charges against her. Both were found to have merit though she apparently started the harassment. Both were forced to retire in disgrace.

She is now making a career out of bashing President Bush who refused to overturn the U.S. Army Chief of Staff's decision to force her to retire because of her actions.

[Fred Hayek]

She advanced to a flag rank by wielding the political correctness club. Did she get her star during the Clinton administration?

[Zathras]

In The Springs?
Probably 15 people they bussed in from Boulder just for the interview.

[oldbill]

And here's the rest of the story.

Claudia Kennedy used to date Terry McAuliffe's father-in-law in the late 1990's. It was McAullife's influence that got her in with Bill and Hillary and got her all the promotions to three stars when the rest of the Army brass was wondering how this dunce was getting promoted so fast.

What's that McAuliffe says about Bush using influence to get in the Texas ANG?

[hellinahandcart]

Pingin' because I know you're a huge fan of Claudia Kennedy. ;-P

[Semper Paratus]

Did she get her star during the Clinton administration?

She sure did.

[gov_bean_ counter]

FUMU, Peter Principle...

A couple of double entendres to explain her advance to General.

[roses of sharon]

Thank god she is retired, she is OBL's dream general.

[G.Mason]

"Lt. Gen. Claudia Kennedy told a group of 15 at a downtown Colorado Springs coffee shop that Americans must elect a leader to rebuild coalitions damaged by the U.S. invasion of Iraq."

A whole entire group of 15?

Just think, when the little general gets all growed up, she will prolly be able to tell more than 20 of them people some stuff.
