It's about time Franks got his act together and pushed for Bush publicly. Don't get me wrong, I think Franks is a good guy, but during the summer he showed symptoms of "retired general" disease, saying bizzare things like "absolutely" John Kerry would make a good commander-in-chief and "I'm a strong Independent ... leaning" toward Bush and complaining to the press that he wouldn't be allowed to speak at the RNC. Geez, it seems as soon as these generals put on civilian clothes they lose their common sense (eg. McPeak, Zinni, etc.). I'm glad Franks has finally made up his mind, but damn, it shouldn't have taken him this long.

One wonders if they had any(common sense) in the first place... Generals live on the government teat and when retired even more so.. Being a general does not make you conservative.. If anything it could make you a socialist.. Socialist american generals(like Clarke) think of themselves.. Comservative american generals think of the country..
