New Joint Chiefs Nominee: ‘This War Is Going To Go On For A Long Time. It’s A Generational War’


-snip-

Some insight on Mullen can be gained from a speech he gave to sailors in Pearl Harbor in Feb. 2007:

In his opening remarks, Mullen, a Vietnam War veteran, told Pearl Harbor sailors: “I honestly believe this is the most dangerous time in my life.

“The enemy now is basically evil and fundamentally hates everything we are — the democratic principles for which we stand … This war is going to go on for a long time. It’s a generational war.”

1. I've got another name for it...

Let's call it the "WeFuckedYouOverAgainWeDidWeDidHAHAHA" war.

Sorry to be so coarse, but the thread on DU today about Bandar Bush being given permission by George W. Bush to fly his bin Laden relatives out of the US really has me down...

2. FWIW, I emailed my son in Italy and asked him if he knew Mullen.

Mullen used to head the European Naval Command. All I got from his was a very short but telling reply. "Yea, I met the Jackass once for about 1 minute. He was our principal before he was replaced by the one we have now."

You can make your own deduction of exactly what he meant.
