Wha wha WHAAAAAA? "Why didn't the generals speak up sooner?"
On Lou Dobbs. That is how Barbara Starr intro'd the piece about the resigning generals. As if it is the generals' fault. and if they'd just have spoken up sooner, maybe everything would be hunky dory.
2. So, does that mean it's the generals' faults for not speaking up enough?
In other words, Rummy is blameless for his own policies and browbeating the military if they took it and didn't speak up? Only a shit-for-brains FReeper (or addle-headed vigilante) would buy that illogical vomit.
It's like telling your wife, how dare you look through my wallet and find a hot chick's phone number... or a kid to his mom... how dare you search my dresser and find those hits of acid... or Scottie McMoonface... how dare you report the truth!
5. Are they questioning why Colin Powell led us war against his will?
There's no doubt in my mind that if Colin Powell had resigned and spoken out instead of spreading lies with his U.N. appearance, there wouldn't have been an American invasion of Iraq. Public opinion for the war turned the day Powell gave it the okay.
Peter Pace or whatever the name of Bush's puppet general's is saying the same thing, new talking point I guess. I was like General Shinseky (sp?) hello.. forget about him asswipe? he spoke up and got canned.
There were generals who stood up (and were promptly fired and smeared for committing First Degree Honesty), but the military leadership has mostly just stood by and allowed the Bush Administration to commit all sorts of crimes, from prison torture to everything else- helping them cover it up all along the way.
13. Au contraire.. That's WHEN they fell in love with war
CNN 24/7 ...That's where Wolfie earned his "stripes"..remember the "Scud Stud"??
GW1 is partly respionsible for the tabloid war-loving media we have today.. The media ownership saw that they COULD get brazillions of eyeballs glued to news 24-7
