If it came to a real “shoot out” between Shrub and the officers, wouldn’t the finest resolution be Impeachment? It is not as if there are no grounds, like High Crimes.

The fruit is practically falling of off the peach tree. just add a little im, stir well and we have the administration domino effect tey knock each other of. If the neocons get in the way of Impeachment down they go next election. The Generals do not have a taste for wasting their troop charges. The national Defense depends on a healthy force, our is decimated. The National Guard is also short equipment and morale. Afghanistan is in need of troops and in big trouble killing civilians and NATO is disenchanted. In short the admin interfered with CENTCOM policy and screwed this war to hell before it ever had a chance. Not that it could have been a sound international strategy in the region. Bush wears it, the generals won’t. Hatten is right Impeachment now stand up for your rightd mon! Thanks Hatten never go it alone cod peace

They politicized everything else, why not the Pentagon and the Military Brass too? It’s not like it takes any great leap of the imagination to see that.

Here’s the deal:

The Pentagon was already largely Republican, and backed Bush over Gore in 2000. But then Bush brought in, along with Cheney, Darth Rumsfeld — who has been the enemy of most of the JCS because he wants to eliminate the various armed services and fold them into one service, which is part of his “streamline the military” goal (aka “eliminate as many paid positions as possible and replace them with high-tech gadgets my corporate buddies can make lots of government $ supplying in no-bid contracts”).

Seeing Rumsfeld and Cheney running things again was bad enough — and make no mistake, Cheney and Rummy share the same brain; as we’ve already found, Rumsfeld’s leaving the SecDef job changed nothing. But what was worse, was that they both had had their brains hijacked by convicted grifter Ahmad Chalabi and his disciples, both here in the US and in Israel’s right-wing Likud Party (Doug “stupidest f-ing man on the face of the earth” Feith was one of the guys with connections to both groups), who formed a group called PNAC — “Project for the New American Century”.

And it just got worse from there.

It’s already unprecedented to see so many retired generals speaking out against a war in progress. That in itself was a huge, huge leap. It’s still a leap for active-service generals to come out against the war, but they’re edging closer day by day.

Me? Alone? Against all of you? hahahahaha

Suzanne, we’re here for you.

We’re your friends, remember?

We’re with you, not against you.

Re: Fred Thompson’s career as a lobbyist

Thanks for bringing this up. I hope that word starts to spread about Fred’s “inconvenient truth” – that he is a career corporate lobbyist who only spent 1 1/3 terms in the Senate.

If he ever does actually run, this should be the first thing emphasized about him.

That, and a (TV) distict attorney?

Switch.

ct, the guys backstage are still scratching their heads trying to figure it out. could be the g’s – could be the nsa parking their truck on the tubes again.

There really are people back there? I thought it was just you.
