If I was McPeak I wouldn't tell anyone I advised Obama on foreign affairs or military issues.

[jazusamo]

Ping!

[PhiKapMom]

Did McPeak advise Obama on what new Air Force uniforms should look like? That is about his only qualification that I can think of and as soon as the worthless General retired his uniform design was scuttled by the incoming General.

McPeak is an embarrassment to the Air Force.

[weegee]

Republican for Obama?

Conservatives for Marixsm?

[reagan_fanatic]

He has gut-fighting sidewalk smarts that have allowed him to prevail when people said he couldn't,"

LOL!!

[K-oneTexas]

I agree. McPeak is an embarrassment to the Air Force and just about everyone else. His simply marvelous “Bus Driver” uniforms were all the rage when I was in. Yeah, Right. :)

[jazusamo]

Ya just can’t make stuff like this up. :)

[Kitanis]

“McPeak is an embarrassment to the Air Force.”

It was more than the uniforms.. That man re-organized units, Screwed up policies and increased mandated draw-down goals so much that I personally saw people who would and should have stayed in bail out of the AF in droves..

I believe that he was the start of the procedual problems that plague the USAF today..

He has gut-fighting sidewalk smarts

He proved that to me by his excellent assesment of the surge strategy.

McPeak's philosophy 'Anybody but an Airdale'.

You don’t know McPeak, do you?

Talk about ego.....

[Cold Heart]

“Talk about ego.....”

Appropriately, he lives in Lake Ego, Oregon.

If I was the man I was 25 years ago, I'd take a FLAMETHROWER to this article.

What ya got here is a "rat ship". A vessel for sea going snithches.

And if you think McPeak is a "bloodied" Vietnam vet.... well the Oregonian is as full of cr#p as most democrat propaganda organizations.

I can just see the security council for Obamalamadingdong... McPeak and Wesley Clark with Madeline Albright (by half) all sitting around a bathhouse in the Castro District of San Fran or at their condo on Fire Island.

I told my kids I was going to pass this year on the presidential election, screw it... I'm going to vote for McCain and just hope that we have enough conservatives in congress and the senate to stop the Rino douche bag.

The democrat turd sandwich, "The Chosen One" Obamalamadingdong is just a menace.

He needs to graduate to the great American racial shakedown circuit with Jackson and Sharpton.

What an election....gawd.

McPeak was a running joke. An absolutely typical “perfumed prince” of the 5-sided Funny Farm.

The are not-really-legends of him spending up to half his time working on a matter of utterly vital importance to the US Air Force: a better-looking dress uniform.

[freekitty]

If this man is impatient with ineptitude; why is he supporting Osama Obama?

[wmileo]

I respect his service in Vietnam but he sounds like a jerk. This is not uncommon in the military. Just listening to him and Weasley Clark can make you question Tax payer funding of the US Military Academy system.

[zek157]

I believe that he was the start of the procedual problems that plague the USAF today...

Like shutting down SAC?

[jazusamo]

You summed up this piece and the Oregonian perfectly.

[jazusamo]

Obama and McPeak are two of a kind, neither one recognize ineptitude.

At least McPeak had significant combat experience as a very junior officer, as opposed to Weaseley Clark, who gives even perfumed princes a bad name.

[jazusamo]

He and Weasel Clark are so alike it’s not funny.
