I have come 180 on my opinion of you - and I think you are a very thoughtful, experienced, and tested individual. It is sometimes hard on this board to weigh who an individual is, and I sometimes (like many) jump into a pool of thought too quickly. My defense is that words on a board are what they are, and we make the best judgments we can - - - but snap decisions are historically a poor choice.

Thank you for your service, and for your insights regarding Shinseki.

I never knew his politics, but they appear to be quite troubling. I find this appointment quite curious because it has been widely rumored that he intends to run for Inoyue’s Senate seat in 2010.

This bothers me also.

My guess on the man is that he is a hard core Democrat and God does not figure into his life or his decision making.

Best to you centurion.

Well, I’m sure that I did not exhibit a very reasoned edge when this thread first began. I have grown weary of the many Shinseki POS and Rummy Rocks posts over the years. Everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinions on these two men, but those opinions carry more weight when they are formed by some basic knowledge of the issues involved. I have no use for Mr. Rumsfeld, but thought Shinseki did a pretty good job as CSA. His political ambitions are another matter.
