Twice Gen. Casey said traffic police are wearing white shirts & ties.
Is this the military barometer of winning a war????? He said this on Meet the Press and he just said it on Wolfies show. I guess this means the war is going well. Casey is bumbling and fumbling trying to shore up support for his commander-in-competent.

1. General Washington, Eisenhower, Patton, and the rest must be
spinning in their graves at the calibre and quality of military leader we have running our armed forces these days.

2. No one is following up on why there is such a gap between
what Casey is saying and what Allawi is saying. There is no reason for me to believe a shill of this government over Mr. Allawi, who I presume actually knows what is going on in Iraq.

3. Oh they are wearing their burial suits..
:shrug: They seem to hold great measure by wearing suit and ties. Remember how they criticized the Clinton Administration for wearing casual wear in and around the Whitehouse? They all wear ties but don't work. Their whole bag is appearance. Never actual accomplishment only the appearance of accomplishments. The most important thing to a neocon is how things appear....not how things are.

5. He just called Wolfie "Tim" a few minutes ago.
The questions are all the same and the lies are all the same. He forgot where he was.

7. I heard that and thought it Bizarre! Does he not look like he thinks he's
a Dude or what? What were those red parachute straps on his shoulders.

He's one of those Bush men who thinks "dressing up" makes everything okay.

10. Same reaction here.. Just wow
Our military leadership is collectively out of its gourd.

How much does a Halliburton(tm) white shirt and tie cost anyway?

12. At This Very Moment, General Casey is Drowning Himself In A Bottle....!
After viewing himself on a video replay.

What a stark contrast to the factual testimony given by
Representative John Murtha!!
