10. Here's the link to eighth General calls for Rumsfeld 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:

Rumsfeld: there's only 2-3 OR EIGHT generals expressing their views!

3. oh yeah? well charles krauthammer says they should shut up
http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/krauthammer1.asp

snip>In his most recent broadside, retired Army Maj. Gen. John Batiste accuses the administration of "radically alter the results of 12 years of deliberate and continuous war planning" on Iraq. Well, the Bush administration threw out years and years and layer upon layer of war planning on Afghanistan, improvised one of the leanest possible attack plans and achieved one of the more remarkable military victories in recent history. There's nothing sacred about on-the-shelf war plans. <

didn't catch OBL with that 'leanest possible attack plan', did you, Neo-con Chuck?

5. He has no room to tell someone to shut up.
I saw and heard Krauthammer for the first time on Washington Journal a several years ago and thought he was a very vile person. It was during the time when Clinton was in office. The hatred on that man's face while talking about Clinton etc. was so sad to me. He didn't make a good impression on me at all.

6. What war did Chuckie-Boy plan?
Or for that matter fight in (yes, I know he's disabled, but he wasn't before he was injured in an automobile accident in college)?

My point is, more precisely, what has Krauthammer done to know how to fight a war?

7. Yes, isn't he wonderful?
Charles Krauthammer...one of the signers of the PNAC..

it's amazing newspapers still print his shit. Speaking of that, every time I see his face in the editorial section, I want to lay the section my kitty litter box and let the kitten do his thing, right on Charles' face.

He stinks.

4. Will Rummy still refer to them as "Two or Three retired military folks"?
Maybe it's time to upgrade it to "A handful of washed up, leftist army guys"?
