George Wept...
What would George Washington or George Patton think of Bush's pet "Generals"? This new breed supports the crooks and liars over the health and well being of their own troops.

SORRY? "MOVE ON should be SORRY, for telling the truth?" What could be anymore "SORRY" than a turncoat like Joe Lieberman? What could be anymore sorry than the wasted time and lives and money in Iraq, brought on by a liar and his willing accomplices?

I hope that if George Washington is looking down from somewhere, at the "WAR" in Iraq, he doesn't blame me, because I've spoken out from day one, against the dreadful direction our country has been dragged by these greedy liars and crooks in the GOP.

5. Being a "GENERAL" don't mean the man is always right...
Jodl, Alfred
Chief of Operations for the German High Command

Jodl gave orders for the German army's campaign against Holland, Belgium, Norway, and Poland. He also planned attacks against Greece and Yugoslavia....Jodl was quoted as saying, "Terror attacks against English centers of population ...will paralyze the will of the people to resist."

Jodl was hanged in Nuremberg on Oct. 16, 1946. Critics have called Jodl's death sentence harsh in relation to the sentences received by other German officers of similar rank.

http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/nuremberg/meetthedefendants.html

Jodl Was A War Criminal, because he sided with a leader, whom the "General" probably guessed at some point, was a war criminal, but the general went on right to the end, carrying out the orders of a madman.

7. General frees another Marine convicted of war crimes
By: TERI FIGUEROA - Staff Writer

CAMP PENDLETON ---- The seventh of eight Marines jailed for the execution of an Iraqi man left the brig Friday afternoon, freed by a Camp Pendleton general.




Special Report


Pvt. Robert Pennington walked free after Lt. Gen. James Mattis granted him clemency, slashing the remaining seven years off Pennington's eight-year sentence.


Pennington struck a lengthy plea deal earlier this year, admitting his role in a plot that left an Iraqi man dead on the side of a road in the rural village of Hamdania on April 26, 2006.

snip...

Mattis signaled leniency in a number of war-crime cases this week. He announced Thursday that he would drop charges against two of seven Marines accused in a separate case in which 24 Iraqis were killed in the town of Haditha. The general based that decision on an investigative officer's recommendation.

Here is a "General" who is taking the "Law" into his own hands and sending a "Wrong Message" to criminals. "Do it, and we'll probably just sweep it under the rug!" The "General" don't seem to place much value on a human life overseas...

6. part of the flim flam. put the military guy out there so all the

critics of the war, the 'splurge' feel like they have to retract their
criticisms.

because you cannot under any circumstance criticize a man with a uniform on
and all those sacred and glorious medals.

its vietnam hangover - DO NOT CRITICIZE THE MILITARY. the democratic pols
are being manipulated with this flim flam production.
