WTF -they're bringing on Gen. McCaffrey

[malaise]

to pay tribute to Timmy. He was one of the Pentagon hacks. This is a lesson in 'hackery'!

1. Every one else is at the Irish wake, which I thought was nice. That's

the way to do it; go out with stories, tears, laughter, and a Rolling Rock. ;)

2. Weren't these hacks exposed

Didn't M$M pretend that they did not know about these Pentagon hacks?

4. I don't think this channel ever mentioned the hacks. Maybe

Olbermann did; I can't remember. But he's obviously not talking about Pentagon biz at the moment.
And whatever happened to that?

6. Olbermann did but I don't recall that McCaffrey was on the Pentagon's "consultant" list.

I thought he was a Lt. Colonel?? In any case, Olbermann used to have him on quite a bit and he was usually not complimentary about the way the war was being run. Far from it.

7. You're right; the list is in the original story here:

8. Right about the person; wrong about the rank.

Olbermann also used Lt. Col. Jacobs a lot and he wasn't a big fan of the way the war was being run, either.

9. Thanks n/t

3. Wasn't McCaffrey involved in the Highway of Death in Gulf War One?

Just sayin'. I thought the networks were going to stop using these Pentagon shills.

5. I must be mixing up generals. Hasn't McCaffrey also criticized Bush et al.? nt
