Sometimes I wonder what the hell is going through Hack's mind. Its like he's jealous of what is being accomplished, just like McCaffery and all the other retired officers who turned into talking heads.

What should be going through his mind right now is "which medication do I need?" He has scorched-earth what little credibility he might have still possessed. I don't see how anyone can take his point of view seriously after this.

Yesterday McCaffrey backed way off and was praising General Myers and General Franks like crazy. Called General Myers the absolute best General for the job of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

Do believe General Myers hit home at least with him. It was so funny to watch him backtrack!

I am really disappointed in the Colonel. He was a helluva soldier, but it seems his time has passed. I really don't understand him, he was spot on about the harm the Clinton administration was doing to the troops. It seems as though he can't let go of the constant criticism of the CIVILIAN LED Military. What really is hard to understand is that when GW picked his VP and SecDef and SOS, he said how much he admired them. Confusing as hell.

I'd say your assumption is correct. It's our own American version (internal jealousy) of what France, Germany and Russia feel toward us as a country. Most democrats resent Republican successes. They don't think in terms of COUNTRY, OUR country. They think of their own self aggrandizement.
