Reply #12: Opinions of high military command [View All]

Among his other accomplishments, Bush has completely destroyed his credibility among US flag rank officers. Hard to have respect for a so-called C-in-C who gets his plans from AEI and the obese armchair warriors Kagan, Doug Feith, Paul Wolfowitz, Michael Ledeen, and Richard Perle. The US officer corps know what Bush is, nuthin' but a dumb privileged draft-dodgin' bullshittin' Ivy frat rat. Not a macho man at all, despite the pose. Not even the man his pa was. The general's statement is another instance of the Permanent Government taking over and showimg it, similar to Admiral Fallon's semi-public refusal to provoke an Iran war on his watch as CentCom commander. Wonder if the Democratic candidates are really wise to what's going on here - and whether they agree. Because it will still be going on, no matter which one of them gets elected. Bush-Cheney have clearly demonstrated the folly and danger of sticking with an incompetent and corrupted "Decider" to the officer corps.
