How can you take the word of people like General Norman Schwarzkopf, Thomas Wilson, (R) Sen Lott, and (R) Sen McCain who actually served in the military for years (many years in Schwarzkopf's case) over the word of some flippant hack who has never worn a uniform? How dare you think that people who have put their lives on the line know anything? What the hell would people who have served know about serving in the military? Why are you thinking that a person who has never served in the military has no understanding of the military and it's deep codes. It's just like a Walmart store, and Rummy can run a Walmart!
After Powell leaves, is there anyone left who wore a uniform steering this thing? As if he mattered anyway, but he at least understood sacrafice and danger.
I think there should be a rule, a military person should run the military. They know first hand the risks of harms way, and understand it better than some WalMart manager (Democrat or Republican).
Sorry Jobu, but your golden boy smells like shit. He does not have the background or understanding for his job, it's really obvious. I wonder if he has ever faced the threat of a papercut, while he made his "history making" decisions (oh yes....they are history making, they will be called things like "rumsfields folly"). And while you defend him, spout out your long tenure in the military...or fucking hide like a backseat driver.....
