8th General Calls For Rumsfeld’s Resignation


Fox News is reporting an eighth general has called for Rumsfeld’s resignation. Ret. Marine General Paul Van Riper said he constantly talks with many active duty and retired senior officers who share his feelings that Secretary Rumsfeld has not fought the Iraq war competently. He told Fox that Rumsfeld has run the Pentagon through intimidation and that a change in leadership is needed. Watch it at Think Progress.

If this leader is not capable of doing it, now going in excess of five years, has not demonstrated he is, then perhaps it is time to find a new one. If I was the president, I would have relieved him three years ago.

Note to G REX: A poster in think progress is way ahead of you.

Let me fill you in on this guy. He’s a coward, a traitor, a Clintonista, a partisan Democrat, he gave money to Tom Daschle and Ted Kennedy and Joseph Stalin, he is gay, he’s a hack, he got his job by being a suck-up, he has a book for sale, he is out of touch, he is a thug, a goon, a thrid world dictator wannabe, he looks like Noriega, Pinochet, Khaddaffy, Idi Amin, he’s selling a new book, he hates America, he hates freedom, loves Al Qaeda, he is French, Muslim, queer, blah,blah,blah…..

Comments:
Hey now, I've never impugned the character or motives of any of these generals, apart from noting that one of them is coming out with a book. Don't put words in my mouth.

What I've said is that the debate is ongoing, just as there is still debate whether Truman's use of the A-bomb against Japan was justified. It's the nature of military history/analysis to question in a "what if" manner, as in, "What if Stuart's cavalry hadn't been off gallivanting around the countryside and had, instead, been able to contribute valuable intel to Lee at the Battle of Gettysburg."

And that's all I have to say about that.
 
The evidence is overwhelming that the Iraqi occupation is botched from the start.
If they won't can Rummy or move him over in the typical lateral "reward" fashion then they must not want this war to end in any way any time soon. uhhhhhmmmmmmmm no duh.


Vote DEMs in DC in '06
Impeach Bush
Finish the war
