He was active duty military and in charge during the 'Highway of Death' during Persian Gulf War I. Seymour Hersh did a big expose on his role in the slaughter, http://www.agrnews.org/issues/71/

22. Paul Whitecastle...A Song Well Worth Listening To |
|
BTW. McCaffrey's supposedly a Democrat. Actually I like what he was saying...putting the real need out there and hopefully he scared more Yellow Elephants did he did people here.
C'mon, if it's "war and glory" this regime wants, let's "do this right". Let's really show this country what a war is like...let's start a draft, rationing, requiring businesses and individuals to give up their business and profits to produce materials strictly for the "war effort" and get a Congressional declaration. That's war. This is war profiteering. When will someone have the stones to call it what it really is?

if you read the Max Blumenthal article on the Young Chickenhawks, you'll get this priceless tidbit. "The people opposed to the war aren't putting their asses on the line," Bray boomed from beside the bar.

Well you know those chickenhawks are doing their part. I'm sure their fierce and vicious rhetoric is scaring the insurgents. Perhaps we should move them closer, maybe to the Green Zone where they can spew out all that filth. That'll definitely make Baghdad safe!

If Amerika the super power cannot defeat the Insurgency how in the freak are the Iraqis supposed to do so? Also, a large part of the Insurgency are fighting to rid Iraq of the U.S. Occupation. Are Iraqis going to fight against their own people over that?
