Its really no suprise to me. These are the guys who survived Xclintoon (no doubt they find Rumsfeldt distasteful).

Given how YOU misread what I posted and apparently again misread the actually definition as given by Merriam-Webster, are you SURE I am the one in need of "English 100"? LOL!!!!

Iraq and the WoT are "intertwined" and rightly so. Have you not read any of the Saddam translations that FR's own jveritats has translated?

And WHU are you having a problem with the word "intertwined"? It's a perfectly good English word and useful to boot; not to mention the fact that it was used correctly by the other poster.

English 100 (English Composition) is not "how to use a dictionary". That is why you entirely and twice missed the point. I told you 'words mean things"....I should have also told you especially when you make a sentence, and particularly when you make a sentence in response to another sentence. Enough now.

Funny, everywhere else it's English 101

OK. You have now convinced me that you are ignorant of your grammatixal error. Best for you to go back to being the Iraq/WOT special expert now.

One last thing....look here.....

We won the war against the murderous regime in Iraq and captured its leader.

We are now fighting alongside a new Iraqi army against the terrorist insurgents. This is a completely different battle and will likely take years.

Hopefully, we will be able to turn the effort over to the Iraqi army soon.

"somewhere I read a quote by a retired general that the best service a retired general can render his country is to keep his opinions to himself."

Whether his opinions are intelligent or idiotic, if anyone deserves to exercise his free speech in this country it is someone who has fought for its freedoms and put his life on the line in doing so.

Lots of bluster. We can agree to disagree on issues such as universal service, but you cast aspersions on the character of a former Army Division CG and have failed to back them up.

It figures, well it's good to know the true colors of some of these Generals, like these threads that expose Saddam/MSM trolls.

I've never thougt too much of Rumsfeld, but for different reasons. His military service was perfectly engineered to avoid the combat in the Korean War. He was a half-assed Rockefeller-Republican congressman. He worked against Reagan in 1976 and in 1980. Reagan wisely decided not to minimize his part in his administration, oddly enough sending him as a "special envoy" to Saddam.

Since becoming SecDef, he's embraced and expanded all of the social experimentation of the Clinton era. Dick Danzig might as well still be running the Navy. Gals are in combat in the Army, and we are still lowering those standards and demanding those quota's.

Nope, I think former Senator Coats would have been a far wiser choice. But then again, Laxalt would have been a far wiser VP choice than Bush in 1980.

If you count the reserves, there are will over 3000 retired flag officers. They tend to live long lives.
