You know I am getting tired of this so called prefrential treatment of blacks in the service. You don't get that high if you are not talented. Ass kissing can only get you so far. He was a troop leader in the 82d and probably has an impressive military resume. The liberal need to shut up.

**LOL, you are not supposed to notice that. I am sure you are well aware of the fact that we also notice when Ann Coulter or Michelle Malkin come on. Especially Michelle Malkin, because I have this thing for Philippine women. :) **

Oh Lord...yes, I notice. (rolling my eyes) LOL

The liberal press will feel that a black president isn't good enough too. (Especially if a Republican).

Do you ever get the feeling that the liberal/Democrat journalists are simply ignorant, bigoted barbarians?

BTW, I think most of the reservists I work with have been called to active duty.

I was delighted this morning that, following yesterday's criticisms and complaints, General Franks made the decision to send General Brooks back to do the briefing the next day.

I hope the reporters felt spit in the eye. Wish I coulda been there to help shower the pigs.

This is an absolutely perfect example of how morally bankrupt the liberals are! Liberals want to be the champions of minority rights but only if the minorities fit into their stereotypes of "downtrodden victims." Here is a black man, who on his own rose to a position of power and authority that 90% of the population can't come close to! I guess Michael Wolff would rather have the good General on welfare or working in a 7-11 so that he can "help" him.

Patton would have slapped him.

Send in the Command Sergeant Major for next briefing. The CSM won't put up with stupid questions.

Look here for an article about the media and the military featuring another black officer who isn't, I suspect, a liberal media favorite.

As we strode along a dirt path under a full moon, he fretted about the security of secret information, and explained to me why he would launch a “very personal, very harsh vendetta” against any journalist who released advance intelligence that could endanger the lives of his men.

As they say, read the whole thing. There's an FR thread on it here

I never paid attention that he was "black."

Me neither.

" I'm sure he'd rather face the enemy on the frontline rather than the enemy in the press room."

Or even clean the latrines! . (I guess it was sort of like talking to the latrine)

Whenever the press says: "I mean no disrespect" IMHO they usually do show disrespect! Wolff is a clymer!

When I was trying to learn how to be a USMC Officer, our gunny always talked about "command presence", Gen Brooks has it.

Got to love Franks sending him right back out there.
