Cambone...
Edited on Thu May-13-04 12:10 PM by Hand
Here's some information on the lying sack of PNAC shit who was trying to take down Gen. Taguba at the hearings. Suffice to say that he's all you'd expect...

1. As soon as he opened his mouth
and started testifying, I thought he was a lying sack of PNAC shit. Thanks for the confirmation.

2. As soon as I saw his dirty hair
I knew he wasn't all there, no matter his politics. You would think he would clean up a little.

3. From the article
Despite -- and perhaps because of -- his close relationship to the defense secretary, Cambone is apparently widely disliked in the Pentagon. Neoconservative writer Tom Donnelly reported in the The Weekly Standard that “fairly or not, Cambone has long been viewed as Rumsfeld's henchman, almost universally loathed -- but more important, feared -- by the services.” (3) And the Washington Monthly reported in late 2001, “It would be hard to exaggerate how much Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and his top aide Stephen Cambone were hated within the Pentagon prior to September 11. Among other mistakes, Rumsfeld and Cambone foolishly excluded top civilian and military leaders when planning an overhaul of the military to meet new threats, thereby ensuring even greater bureaucratic resistance. According to the Washington Post, an Army general joked to a Hill staffer that 'if he had one round left in his revolver, he would take out Steve Cambone.' Cambone's reputation in the building hasn't improved much since Sept.11, but Rumsfeld's has been transformed." (4)
