Sestak is a Navy man. According to the "chicken hawk" standards he should have no say in deployment of ground troops... Who is he to endanger our military our fighting men?

Screw you Admiral.
I always wanted to say that. :-}

We lost Curt Weldon for this piece of crap. That district deserves anything bad it gets.

It seems like this ex-admiral now wears his rank on his a$$. Must be another Clintonista like Weasley Clark.

As far as former three-star Adm. Joe Sestak is concerned, the Democrats have just begun to fight back on Iraq.It's a strange mindset revealed by this statement. Have the Republicans been unilaterally fighting the dems? No, not at all. In fact, the dems voted for this war. The conclusion I draw is that the dems see themselves in the same light as our other enemies, whom we are fighting---namely, the islamofascists.

If you check this guy's bio he apparently never heard a shot fired in anger in his career. Like Sen. Jack Reed who graduated from West Point and was a ranger, Sestak was never in an actual war.

This is from his campaign bio:
"As the Battle Group Commander, he led an international coalition force of 30 U.S. and allied ships and 15,000 sailors, exercising command of combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as senior diplomatic engagements throughout Southwest Asia, Europe and Africa."
". . .exercising command of combat operations. . ." is another way of saying he did this at some distance from actual hostilities, maybe from the Pentagon.

At the level of 0-6 and above, and especially graduates of senior professional military education programs (the Air, Naval, Army or National War College, the Industrial College of the Armed Forces and joint strategic schools)jointness and broad spectrum war fighting becomes the necessary operational art. The new CinC of CENTCOM is an admiral (yes, I know our wannabe hands-on combatant president has decreed that he is the one and only CinC; pure idiocy). Commanding joint forces requires that the admiral understand the mud Marine and army infantry situation; the air force general understand the naval battle group's problems as well as its operational and tactical abilities, and so on. The art and science of war fighting from the strategic command center is as esoteric and demading as open heart surgery. So yes, the ''navy man'' as you so delicately describe the new congressman from Philly, knows well the criteria for deployment of ground forces.

We're the ones who suffer, not the district. He's a congressman for the entire U.S., not the mayor of a few Rat-infested towns in PA.

This insidious man was put in office by the Clintonistas, in particular Mr. "Pants" Berger, the thief.

Sestak, the freshman congressman from Delaware County, is committed to DIS-BANDING U.S. forces.

Then explain why he apparently believes war is static. A lot has taken place between the last increase in troops - to cover the elections and this one. The Iraqi gov't is stronger, more assured of its footing, the people are starting to cooperate, etc. and yet all this is ignored in order to claim this so called surge, but in reality a reinforcement mission for those already in Baghdad, won't work. I'll take my husband's can do attitude any time over his retreat and fail attitude any day.

The only tragic misadventure is the voters of my county putting this political hack in office.

To: pacpam
? War is static? That term is universally so broad and vague that no one, especially me, has the slightest idea of what it refers to. And, the remainder of your post is, unfortunately, unintelligible and thus incapable of being a conversation starter.
I am happy for your husband's ''can do'' spirit, he sounds like a fellow to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with in a tough spot. But how does that individual attribute explain the military policy being debated and contested?

Sestak must think the situation in Iraq has not changed and is therefore 'static'. Thanks for the compliment on being unintelligible middie. Same to you.
