I would like to call my dad and uncle to see if they heard the news but I don't want to lose my hearing from being screamed at in the phone.

I have never seen two normally calm men get worked up over a name. My dad told me Westmoreland was pretty much "handcuffed" throughout the whole war.

Its a shame that General Westmoreland didnt live a few more years to see this POS go first.

My dad told me Westmoreland was pretty much "handcuffed" throughout the whole war.

That was LBJ who did that. He was a mega-mega-metaphysical control freak. He was such a big control freak, Bill Moyers is still controlled by LBJ 40 years later!

Even Molly Ivins, as lefty as they get, called LBJ "a miserable human being". He was truly loathesomeness incarnate. Hell flared up like the Chicago fire when he died.

LBJ, McNamara, Henry the K, Ellsworth Bunker, William Bundy (the Gollum of the Johnson Administration), those guys were all real prizes.

By comparison, Dick Nixon looks positively human. Oh, and in his spare time, McNamara screwed up the F-111, the Edsel, and the World Bank. Damn, he smart.
