"The next commander of Centcom, Gen. John Abizaid, who replaces Tommy Franks on Monday, testified last week to a Senate committee that "Iran has the largest ballistic missile inventory in the Central Command region to include long-range weapons of mass destruction and delivery systems capable of reaching deployed U.S. forces in the theater." And he warned, "Iran's long-term ability to develop nuclear weapons remains a source of serious concern."

Am I the only one concerned about this John Abizaid?

He is a fine man. Apparently of Arab descent--Lebanese , I think.

Abazid is the son of Lebanese parents. He speaks fluent Arabic and is a staunch conservative. He shreds radical muslims for lunch. He is also a great general, and he fights.

You probably are because we've heard he's a really good guy. Extremely well qualified, and extremely loyal.

Gen. Abizaid is from a Maronite Christian, Lebanese background. He is fine officer and an outstanding American.

What is your problem with Abizaid?

Rumsfeld knows him better than you do and he has total faith in him, that's why he sent him to Iraq and promoted him to this post.

There's a Lebanese American in my naval reserve unit. I wish all the sailors had his level of dedication and love of America.

John Goldstein could slip into that neighborhood more easily?

There are tons of loyal well-ranked Military professional, members of high office (John Sununu Republican Senator of New Hamsphire, Darrell Issa from California, Spencer Abraham Republican Energy secretary) Just to name a few.

With that comment you made the worst of our great nation come through and if you're a 'real patriot' then i feel really sorry for your ranks.

I'm absolutely disgusted.
