This got me fired up, but the first 8 posts have it covered.
Exactly, we want names. Earn your keep Generals. You have the best and brightest behind you.
If the United States, one on one couldn't beat Iran in a military confrontation then we're not the Super Power we claim we are. Iran is a two bit Islamic country trying to leverage it's oil money to become a nuclear threat and that's about where it's most dangerous.Sitting on our hands and waiting for them to do that is stupid beyond comprehension and if a few Admirals and Generals have a problem with this reality DUMP EM !!!
Names please...
what happened to following orders, no one is asking for thier opinion this is comming from the commander and chief. what if your men were questioning your orders. oh thats different. retire now murtha clones move aside and let the real men kick some butt
If these alleged "five generals" had any honor, they'd call a news conference, while in uniform, tomorrow. They would expose every single detail of every plan, and then throw their stars (and pensions) at the TV cameras. That would be the only way to prove their seriousness. They could still earn a nice living as a military consultant with the cable networks, or the RAT party.
After all, what is a career and a pension compared to the life of a single grunt that serves under you? My own suspicion is that these cowards, if they really exist, won't say a word until they see that the direct deposit of their pension checks has started.
"Firing Squad".
Bush had best think long and hard before going off half-cocked against Iran. The worst thing he could do, while struggling with two wars, would be to pick a third. We have neither the troop strength nor the will to win.
I'll even say this - if Bush starts a third war, he will be, without a doubt, the worst President this country ever had - surpassing even the cowardly James Buchanan. This country cannot afford a third war to satisfy the neo-conservative delusions of American hegemony.
What happens when "Private Jones" takes this stance?
I have a lot of trouble believing that anyone who's kissed ass as long and as hard as it takes to make O-7 would have the spine to resign on principle.
Good. Quit now. Good riddance.
More like a conversation over cheap bourbon between Peter Arnett, Christine Amanpour and Helen Thomas was overheard in a Georgetown watering hole.
Those idiots will disrupt a perfectly good psyops campaign with these anonymous leaks! Which side are they on fer cripes sake! It is in our national interest to know who these weak sisters might be and get them out of positions of authority if we are to survive.
Clintonistas in the government cannot, by LAW, be fired if they are under civil service protection or if they are uniformed military. Only people who hold positions which are political appointments can be fired. Most of your mid level people (and ALL of the military) are protected by the civil service law.
Highly paced sources? Name them spigot head!
The British still do not seem to have learned their lesson in the intervening years since 1776: when a general leaves its a good sign, we have dozens in the ranks ready to step in, none of whom are Clinton appointees.
Donchaluvit when the Euroweenie liberals start getting weak knees. Dubyah's sabre rattling has got them as nervous as a burqua clad Islamic virgin on her family arranged wedding night! She knows there's incoming but not where its gonna hit! The front door or the back?
Lay it on Dubyah! You are doin' a great job!
"Quit or retire????"
Maybe we can borrow some 'real' generals from Israel.
