3 Retired Generals Warn of Peril in Attacking Iraq Without Backing of U.N.

Three of Clinton's Generals (perfumed princes) all suspect in their judgement.

Of course, all flag oficers above the rank of 1 star are suspect.

Actually all officers above the rank of Major in staff postions are suspect.

I may be mistaken, but I believe that Gen. John M. Shalikashvili was a Clinton appointee. I've never seen a Clinton appointee that I felt was worth ten pounds of cement, but he could be the first. I doubt it. Give me a dollar and the opinion of a Clinton appointee and I'll be able to buy a newspaper. Other than that I wouldn't place much value on their comments.

What was the term that Rumsfeld used the other day when referring to the scaredy cats at the Pentagon? Whatever it is, these three fall into that category and are the main reason why nothing was done during the Clinton Administration.

But the three commanders, some of whom warned that a war with Iraq could detract from the campaign against terrorism

As good as the education provided by West Point is, it's obviously no guarantee that you won't come out an idiot.

If they can't see Iraq and terrorism as one continuum, then they've probably got a bit of a problem with all sorts of causal relationships...or to put it in geometric terms, they probably have difficulty differentiating between their bodily orifices and oil wells.

Clark is an idiot MURDERER!! His little war on Yugoslavia killed so many MORE civilians( THOUSANDS) that military forces( a couple of HUNDRED)...he really ought to be in the dock at the hague!!

He is know nothing, klintoon bu++-boy!!A "perfumed prince" as Hackworth calls him.

WHATEVER HE SAYS.....PLEASE DON'T LISTEN TO HIM, PRESIDENT BUSH!!

Of course, these nancy pants don't have current information since they are retired. Where were they when BJ was using our military ar the police force all around the world?

It is also the reason Bush's WOT stalled. If we survive Clinton it will only be because of grit and guts on the part of our troops. I hate placing them in the hands of generals like these, I'm glad these cowards have retired.

[Reagan is King]

I'm just glad they're RETIRED!

I remember General Shalikashvili as the Commander of the 9th Infantry Division and I seriously doubt that he is what you think, while he was appointed during Clinton's, note that he DID NOT stay. I also remember Clark as one of my professors at West Point and I also believe that he not the Clinton lover that everyone here thinks he is ... if I remember correctly Clark did win his little war ... and he was and is fighting about Clinton's and the British micro management of the campaign.

...Three of Clinton's ..perfumed princes..

No more need be said. History will judge them; harshly.

These three stooges stood silent as traitorrapist42 cut military spending 40% and tripled deployments?

These jackasses didn't peep when the CinC had PLA Gen. Xiong Guangkai to the White House for "military-to-military relationships"?

These three pipsqueaks allowed the betrayal of our missile superiority to the ChiComs via the 200-page fax in 1995 from traitorrapist42 donors Schwartz and Armstrong?

These butt-lickers dummied up when put-some-ice-on-it showed our PLA enemy every platform, base, facility, exercise and weapons system?

Give them a flame thrower, fuel first.

Let's roll.

"The message, he said, was, 'We're going in, with you or without you.'"

Were those actually the words of Bush, or is that a paraphrase?

"Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the House minority whip, said today that two centrist Democrats, Representatives Ike Skelton of Missouri and John M. Spratt Jr. of South Carolina, were drawing up their own proposed language."

Centrist Democrat? Is that a middle-of-the-road communist?

[goodnesswins]

OK, what's with the 5 thing??????
