President Trump’s nominee for the Pentagon’s top policy job apologized in a letter to the Senate on Friday for inflammatory tweets made two years ago in which he made derogatory remarks about Islam, President Barack Obama, and other leading Democrats.
...
“Out of the 8,800 tweets I authored and hundreds of speeches I have given, the few misstatements on Twitter, while grievous, are not indicative of who I am,” he wrote. “They are an aberration in a four-decade thread of faithful public service.”...

"I am sorry if my statement offended anybody"
It's WAR, General, give it back to them times ten!
There was NOTHING in his earlier statement of OPINION to apologize over!
He said something unflattering about Islam? And apologized for it? Sounds like he needs a spine transplant.
>> tweets made two years ago in which he made derogatory remarks about Islam, President Barack Obama, and other leading Democrats.
2 years ago it was FORMER president Obama.
Meanwhile there are thousands in the US Government today who form Hillary Clinton’s “resistance” movement trying to actively subvert the Trump Administration. Can’t have it both way, Democrats. Nothing wrong in him expressing his views with that double-standard at play.
In O’Bungler’s political world, you didn’t get very far with a spine made of Patton Steel. His probably needs a bit of re-annealing and forging now that his present CinC has a new level of excellence to compare against.
Pull the nomination. We don’t need another kneeler.
He should have doubled down.
I’ll give the writer a pass on that.
I have never referred to Ronald Reagan as “Former” President Reagan. Probably will stick to the same protocol when President Trump ultimately departs...(sometime around 2050 or so?)
>>However, that support began to unravel when CNN unearthed his Twitter activity two days after his nomination.
>>
>>In 2018, he had lashed out at the media and prominent Democrats, including California Congresswomen Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi. Waters, he said, was a “vicious race baiting racist.”
>>
>>And he used a hashtag to suggest that CNN anchor Don Lemon was on “the liberal plantation.”
CNN didn’t like the assertion that Red Ted Turner’s company is “the liberal plantation” and went on a scorched Earth campaign against him.
And Maxine Waters is an out and out Marxist who wants to nationalize the oil industry. She’s said so herself.
Cuck
Point being that Obama was not serving this nation when this General made his tweet. He was out of office and no longer Commander in Chief.
“Hell yeah I wrote that and here’s why...”
He’s had too much to think
I think
If you can’t apologize for your error with specifics you are no longer eligible
If you cant defend with reason you are no longer eligible
Remember free speech? That used to be a thing, right?
>> derogatory remarks about Islam
Islam is a war plan.
And no doubt Mohammed would accept that as truth.
I don’t say it often, but I’ll say it once again: Mohammed was perhaps the greatest warrior known to mankind.
I remember free speech well in my Civics Class (Jr Year, 1964)
Maybe saw some obscure reference to it in my kids’ books
Doubt that it’s even mentioned in my grand-kids’ classes
T’was but in the twinkling of an eye .. like so many other lamentable situations we have around us today
I knew we were in trouble culturally when Navy ordinance men caught hell for chalking “Happy Ramadan” on bombs being loaded onto strike aircraft in Gulf War I & II
As if the terrorists might have been offended in the one or two microseconds before the bomb scattered their sorry arses all over the desert!
islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.
