Whine and Cheese, General?
Oh, sure, Fox News, ask Wes Clark what he thinks. Freakin' moonbat.
Half a dozen retarrrd Generals are harping for Rummy's removal...well DUH! Every flag officer wants to be a four-star and every four-star wants the big-ticket command; when they see that they're not going to get it, they retire. Bitter with frustrated ambition, they scribble in their memoirs how they were wronged and rail to the press and the heavens against their civilian bosses. They had their feelings hurt, now they'll fall back on consulting jobs and a retirement package comparable to minor lottery installments. Poor wittle genewals.

I agree completely. While they're entitled to their opinions, and even their dissent, there is something terribly unseemly about them airing all this in public.
The generals who still support Rumsfeld (and by extension, Bush) don't get air time, and when they do they're viewed as toadies.
Much ado about nothing.

Then maybe they should have applied all that knowledge about war while they were in uniform instead of waiting until they retired.
Politicians make policy...the military carries it out; we don't want to cross the line where the miltary makes its own policy.

let's see, haven't we heard this once or twice before...the politicians won't let the generals conduct the war as they see fit. what else is new?

I heard the other day, one of the generals saying he'd been up for promotion and return to Iraq but declined and retired 'because he disagreed with Rumsfelds' management style'.
Ok, a high-ranking officer is up for promotion and going back to the sandbox and turns it down for THAT reason? That makes my BS detector twitch.
