Two star generals who are given a division usually aren't candy asses and usually on their way to three or four stars.

BS. There have been plenty of Two star and higher candyas$es throughout our Mil -

Do you base you comment on personal knowledge?

Yes.

If he missed getting his third star, it'a probably because he locked horns with Rummy or others over the war.

Neither here nor there - The matter is the guy is flat out wrong on how to fight the WOT and he doesn't like be told so by others....and when he is he reverts to calling it "intimidation". We don't have the time to pacify such concerns today.

He's right about the country not being mobilized to fight the WOT, btw.

No he's not. Our military continues to fight the most successful unconventional war in the history of man. And here in the States for the most part the citizens of this Country are doing exactly what they should be doing....being Americans every single day and rolling along.

Do I wish the public was a little more informed. Of course (but that is always the case). Do I wish the public understood the negative level that those weak-kneed types at State and Pentagon are having on our efforts. Of course.

But on the whole we are just fine.

Well, what's the personal knowledge you have that would tell us that he is a candy ass?

The country being informed is one thing. Involved is quite another. If the WOT is worth fighting (and it certainly is), a universal service law could have been passed before the end of Sept 01. Of course it wasn't, and the opportunity to do so passed quickly. If it were proposed now, we'd be at war with ourselves.

BTW, from what I'm hearing from a number of my sources, this general going off the reservation will not be the last.
